forARTSake Workshops, Classes, and Lessons

forArtSake prides itself on the quality of our instructors. Most instructors possess a Bachelors in Art and some have additional degrees.  In most cases, with a minimum of participants, we are able to keep the cost of workshops down to $10 an hour.  If there is a hardship and you are especially interested in  signing up for a workshop, please stop in the shop and we will try to be creative with payment !  If at all possible we would like our workshops open to all. 

 

Our workshops and lessons are designed to fill a need for anyone who wishes to develop their creative self.  Classes for both children and adults are offered.
Special pricing for multiple family members or group bookings (home school, Brownies, Girl Scouts, 4-H, birthday parties, etc.) - 1st child/regular price, additional children/one half price. Pre-registration & payment is required in order for us to determine if minimum numbers (normally 6 people) have been met.  In the event of a class cancellation, money will be refunded.
