Create Your Own Fraktur Masterpiece! ✍️ On June 7, step back in time and discover the art of Fraktur — a beautiful, calligraphy-based folk art from the 1700s, rich with color, tradition, and meaning. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use pen and ink to craft an ornate letter in the historic Fraktur style, perfect as a heartfelt gift or a keepsake for yourself. What is Fraktur? Originally created by Pennsylvania Germans, Fraktur blends elegant calligraphy with whimsical decorations like birds, hearts, and flowers, inspired by illuminated medieval manuscripts. Today, it's cherished by folk art lovers and creatives alike! All supplies are included. Bring your own watercolors or colored pencils to add a personal splash of color! Traditional Fraktur watercolor sets available for purchase from the instructor for an additional $20. Join us and bring a piece of history to life — one letter at a time!

Join Aya on June 14 & 15 for an engaging introduction to the art of mosaic-making! In this hands-on workshop, you'll design your own piece, learn to cut glass into various shapes, assemble your mosaic, and finish it with grout. By the end, you'll have a stunning and unique 8-inch square mirror frame to take home. This class is open to students aged 16 and up.
