Connecting Through Creativity
Previous Studio Events
DATE: Sunday, October 11th
TIME: 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM
FACILITATOR: Barbara Neale
CLASS SIZE: Limited to 8 participants
AGE REQUIRMENTS: 18+ only as we will be working with broken glass
MATERIALS FEE: A separate $25 materials fee is payable in cash to the facilitator at the workshop
OCTOBER is all about carving—so let’s carve some glass! Kiln carving is an exciting process where you place a dimensional pattern underneath glass before it gets fused in a high-temperature kiln. The result is a beautifully textured, custom shape that looks as though it was meticulously hand-carved into the glass itself.
In this three-hour workshop, you will learn how to cut patterns into specialized ceramic fiber paper, stack your glass on top, and prepare it to be fired. During the firing process, the heated glass softens and conforms perfectly to the contours and textures of your underlying design. Fiber paper comes in different widths and can be cut into shapes and stacked to form shapes.
Participants will create their own 6X6 design and finished pieces may be framed to be hung. You can bring your own Halloween design or pictures of flowers and animals. Some templates of designs will be available as well. An X-Acto knife will be provided to cut details. Once assembled, your creation will be placed in the kiln for firing, and you will be able to pick up your finished creation within 7 to 10 days.
No prior glassmaking experience is necessary. We will cover all the essential basics of glass art before diving into the hands-on creation process.
Please register by October 6th. Spaces are limited, so register early to secure your spot! If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available or get on the waiting list.

It’s that time of year when brooms are in season. You can’t fly around on these, but you can clean up your messes or give them as gifts.. For centuries brooms have filled multiple needs such as function, ritual and decoration. Join in the fun of this heritage handicrafts and make 2 whisk brooms, a traditional Appalachian turkey wing and a hawk wing. We will be using authentic broomcorn to make our brooms. To practice we will begin with a small broom for dusting crumbs off the table, cleaning mushrooms or silk from corn. This will give you a sense of what it’s like to wrap a broom tightly, so it does not come apart. Next you will move on to the more complex brooms. We will be using fall colors to wrap the brooms.
Please note that moderate hand and wrist strength is a must for this class.
Please register by 10/5. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.
If finances are keeping you from coming, please contact us. There are limited options through an Art Angel Scholarship Assistance.
Looking for a way to unwind from stress, focus your thoughts, or explore your creative side while celebrating the season? In this class you will learn the Zentangle’s creative and relaxing method of art. By using this method, easy-to-learn repetitive patterns (called tangles) and deliberate pen strokes, you will create an abstract piece of art while entering into a relaxed and meditative state. You do NOT need to know how to draw or have previous Zentangle experience! Zentangle has the potential to deliver artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well-being.
Please bring your Zentangle Kit to class if you have one. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from the facilitator for $15.00.

A calming, nature‑inspired paper art workshop for adults
Class Overview
Create a peaceful, dimensional landscape using layered mat board pieces in this gentle, hands-on workshop at Blooming Peace Studio. This class blends intuitive design with mindful creativity, guiding you through the process of building a sculptural paper scene on a 6×6 mat board.
What You’ll Do
You’ll begin by choosing a soothing color palette and sketching a simple landscape concept—rolling hills, soft horizons, flowing water, or an abstract terrain inspired by natural forms. Using cut and shaped mat board pieces, you’ll layer elements to create depth, movement, and visual rhythm. Students explore torn edges, clean cuts, subtle textures, and overlapping planes to bring their miniature landscape to life.
This process is slow, tactile, and restorative. No drawing or art experience is required; the focus is on mindful making and the joy of working with simple materials.
What You’ll Create
A finished 6×6 layered mat board landscape with sculptural dimension—perfect for framing, gifting, or adding a touch of calm nature to your home.
Skills You’ll Learn
Layering techniques using mat board and textured papers
Creating depth and perspective through color and shape
Building landscapes inspired by natural forms
Clean cutting, shaping, and adhesive application
Enhancing with watercolor or acrylic paint
Perfect For
Adults seeking a peaceful creative experience, beginners, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to explore mindful artmaking in a supportive studio environment.

Art Journaling Collective: A Gentle Beginning for New and Experienced Journalers
Curious about art journaling but not sure where to begin? This welcoming introductory workshop is designed for absolute beginners as well as anyone who feels unsure, intimidated, or “not artistic.” Experienced journalers are also welcome to join and reconnect with the basics in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Through simple, step-by-step prompts, you’ll explore approachable techniques using paper, color, lines, marks, words, and images. No drawing skill is required, and there is no pressure to make anything perfect. The focus is on creative exploration, personal expression, and learning to enjoy the process.
Art journaling can offer a flexible and meaningful way to document your days, reflect on your thoughts, notice moments of gratitude, reduce stress, and build a creative routine that fits your life.
During the workshop, you’ll learn easy practices for daily, weekly, or monthly journaling and experiment with materials such as pens, paints, collage papers, and more. Each page becomes an opportunity to explore, play, and discover your own style.
The workshop also creates space for a growing collective of journalers—much like a book club, but centered on images, words, memory, and reflection. Participants can share ideas, learn from one another’s approaches, and find inspiration in the many ways people use their journals to record everyday experiences, creative discoveries, and gratitude.
This gentle introduction is centered on curiosity, comfort, and permission to begin wherever you are.
What to Bring
Please bring any journal or sketchbook you enjoy using—lined, blank, or dot grid, in any size that feels comfortable. You may bring one from home or purchase a multimedia journal in class if you would like thicker paper for paint and collage.
Please register by 9/20. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.
