The Painting: “Afternoon in the Glen” – A peaceful, whimsical landscape featuring the interplay between a lush valley and enduring stone by capturing a mountain landscape.

This course is for first-time beginners in Oil paint. Students will learn how to balance welcoming foreground elements—crimson maples, winding paths—with the austere, timeless presence of distant peaks under a clear blue sky.

Over the course of this six-week session students will learn skills such as color mixing, creating texture, adjusting values, and more!

In this supportive drawing class, you'll learn to sketch what you see and what you imagine. We'll explore the basics of Values, Perspective, and Proportion, using pencil and charcoal—and you'll even learn the grid method to create drawings that look incredibly real (no tracing needed!).

This is a class for people who think they can't draw. You'll leave feeling like an artist. If you are more experienced, we will challenge and encourage you to explore new horizons in technique and approach.

This course gently guides students from sketchbook anxiety to artistic self-assurance. Through life drawing, figurative illustration, imaginative exploration, and structured photo reference work, students will learn to draw with joy, accuracy, and style. The grid method offers a framework for realism, while creative prompts invite personal expression.

Join us at our Dia De Los Muertos Festival on the Woodstock Arts Event Green and learn about the origins of Mexican candle making and its cultural significance!

The instructor will lead a demonstration and then participants will create their own handcrafted beeswax candle using traditional methods. Take home a one-of-a-kind candle made with care and heritage.

Ages 15+

Start with the pieces. Leave with a puppet!

In this hands-on workshop for makers ages 16 and up, each participant will build their own Boopos Blank puppet with instruction from Sam Carter.

You'll choose your puppet's head shape before the workshop and then learn how its components come together to create an articulated character ready to move, gesture, pose, and develop a personality of its own.

Whether you're interested in puppetry, character design, fabrication, performance—or simply want to spend a few hours making something wonderfully unusual—no previous puppet-building experience is necessary.

This workshop is for individual builders rather than pairs, and every registered participant builds and leaves with their own puppet.

The workshop fee includes one Boopos Blank puppet, all necessary building materials and components, and hands-on instruction from Sam Carter.

Grab a few friends and join us as we sip a little wine and create your own masterpiece of a Much Needed Night Out!

We also offer additional wine choices to make this experience come full circle. Time to relax, leave your worries at the door and paint.
