Looking to be a better storyteller in your improv scenes? Want to create scenes with a clear beginning, middle, and end? This is the class for you! In this class, you will learn how to independently and collaboratively build stories/scenes with action, characters, emotion, understandable story line, and a clear resolution. This class will not only focus on narrative games but also strengthen your ability to establish premise-based scenes.

To get the most out of this class, it is recommended that you have taken Fundamentals of Improv or have previous improv experience.

This class ends with a graduation show, date and time TBD.

This eight week hand building class is a great way to start your week and do something for yourself! Students will explore a range of hand building techniques as they create cups, a traditional vase, unique vase or lantern, and a pumpkin. Of course, if your creativity is taking your projects in another direction, create what your heart desires.

With your class registration, you have access to the studio an additional two hours per week during Open Studio so the fun can continue (or so you can make up a missed class). Enjoy your Monday mornings doing something you love and have fun with clay at the Kish Center!

Weave a portrait of your walk!

Join Amanda in a walk around Woodstock- noticing, collecting, and weaving together things that have been discarded or left behind. You’ll learn the basics of weaving on a frame loom, and apply those skills using non-traditional found materials. This workshop is an invitation to reconsider your surroundings, and engage with familiar environments in a materially focused way.

No weaving experience needed. Ages 14 and up

No experience necessary, just be ready to laugh, paint, and maybe share a few mimosas. Whether you are just getting your feet wet or an experienced painter, come and spend your Sunday afternoon at the Reeves House! 

Bring your friends and we’ll provide the canvases, paints, and paintbrushes as we guide you through creating your own masterpiece. There’s sure to be lots of giggles and a few Monets in the making.

And to add to the fun, we're offering an option to add mimosas to complement your painting experience! Registration is $35 per person (includes all materials and instruction) 

It's a family affair! Come and create together!

Suitable for ages 5 - 105

Not only create your own clay masterpiece, but now also the option to glaze it. Materials for a small piece and basic instruction will be provided.

Bring your imagination and dress for a mess!

Pieces will be fired and available for pick up approximately two weeks after the workshop.

A parent is required to attend with children under 14.

Think you can’t draw a stick figure? Perfect—you’re exactly who this class is for.

Discover the joy of drawing in this welcoming six-week course designed for beginners and anyone looking to strengthen their artistic foundation. The Wandering Pencil is a fun, relaxed six-week drawing course designed for complete beginners as well as those looking to strengthen their artistic foundations. No prior experience is required. Through simple, step-by-step instruction, you'll learn the core principles artists use to create convincing drawings, including value, perspective, proportion, form, and color.

Through guided lessons and engaging projects, students will learn how artists use value, perspective, proportion, form, and color to bring their drawings to life. Each class focuses on practical techniques that help students better understand how objects occupy space, how light creates depth and dimension, and how color can enhance mood and visual impact.

The course is taught in a fun, supportive, and low-pressure environment where experimentation and creativity are encouraged. Whether you're brand new to drawing or looking to refresh your skills, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to see and interpret the world around you through an artist's eyes.

Along the way, you'll discover that drawing isn't a talent you're born with—it's a skill that can be learned. In a supportive, encouraging environment, we'll break complex concepts into manageable lessons that help you build confidence with every class.

By the end of the course, you'll be surprised by what you're able to create and will have the foundational skills needed to continue your artistic journey in drawing, painting, and beyond.
