Adult Art Classes

Adult art classes and workshops invite adults and older teens to get in touch with their inner artist and open another avenue to the Sacred. Exploring our creative gifts is a rich part of life's journey. Creating art is an opportunity to expand and deepen friendships and community life. Join the inspiring artists who teach the classes, and relax. This is a time for play and an opportunity to learn arts and crafts that you can pursue at home and for a lifetime.
