Studio Sessions

Create Something New

 Studio Sessions are monthly hands-on workshops designed to make creativity easy to say yes to. Each session features a different project, technique, or medium in the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere of The Art Experience.


Come try something new, enjoy a creative night out, and leave with something you made yourself. No experience is necessary, all ages and abilities are welcome, and every registration helps support The Art Experience and our mission of improving lives through the arts.

Color in Motion - Fluid Painting

 Let the paint flow and see where your creativity takes you. Explore pouring, swirling, layering, and experimenting with color as you create a completely one-of-a-kind piece of art.


This class is all about enjoying the process, letting go of perfection, and having fun with paint in a relaxed, welcoming setting. No experience is necessary, just come ready to create and get a little messy.

Moonlight & Mischief - Halloween Silhouette Painting

 Celebrate Halloween with a little spooky creativity. Create a whimsical silhouette painting featuring a glowing moon, twisted tree, and playful jack-o’-lanterns.


You’ll be guided through the painting process step by step, making this a fun and approachable evening whether you paint all the time or haven’t picked up a brush in years.

Cut. Layer. Create. - Collage & Mixed Media

 Let your creativity wander. Cut, layer, rearrange, and experiment with images, words, textures, papers, and unexpected little treasures as you build a mixed-media piece that feels 

completely your own.


There’s no single way your finished piece is supposed to look. This session is about exploring materials, following your instincts, and seeing where the creative process takes you.

Wrapped & Wired - Jewelry Design

 Explore beads, wire, and hidden gems from around the studio while learning techniques for creating beautifully finished jewelry.


With guidance from Lori, you’ll experiment with wire wrapping and choose from an abundance of beads and materials to create your own finished piece of jewelry. Tools and supplies are provided, and you’ll leave with something handmade that you can wear or give as a one-of-a-kind gift.
