SUMMARY:Palette & Pours: Inspired by Mondrian
DESCRIPTION:Palette & Pours: Inspired by Mondrian – A Wine & Paint Night for Adults\nGet ready for Palette & Pours – a lively\, adults-only night where art and wine flow together! This isn’t your average painting class. It’s a chance to laugh\, sip\, and let your creativity shine. \nThis session’s theme\, Inspired by Mondrian\, explores bold primary colors\, clean lines and balanced geometric design. \nBut this evening is about more than just technique. Art has a way of relaxing the mind and lifting the spirit. With each brushstroke\, you’ll let go of stress and slip into a creative flow. Whether you’re an experienced painter or picking up a brush for the very first time\, you’ll discover just how joyful and freeing painting can be. \nAnd don’t worry – you won’t be alone. Talented local artists Sandie Bacon and Lezlie Lenz will guide you step by step\, making sure you feel supported while still encouraging your personal style. You’ll learn\, laugh\, and create at your own pace. By the end of class\, you’ll have an original painting you’ll be proud to take home. \n \n  \nOf course\, no Palette & Pours night would be complete without a glass in hand. All painting materials are included\, along with complimentary wine to enjoy while you work. Prefer something else? Bring your favorite beverage and sip as you create. \nSo grab a friend\, bring a date\, or come solo and make new connections. Either way\, you’ll leave with more than just a painting – you’ll walk away with memories\, laughter\, and maybe even a brand-new hobby. \n*All wine will be included. Guests are also welcome to bring their own if they would like!

SUMMARY:Little Pot Studio
DESCRIPTION:Let your child’s creativity bloom in this fun\, hands-on art experience! In this engaging class\, kids will transform simple terracotta pots into colorful\, personalized masterpieces using a variety of materials like vibrant paints\, playful stickers\, and exciting mixed media elements. From bold patterns to imaginative designs\, each child is encouraged to express their unique artistic style while experimenting with texture\, color\, and composition. \nAlong the way\, they’ll build confidence in their creative abilities\, develop fine motor skills\, and enjoy the freedom of self-expression in a supportive\, upbeat environment. Best of all\, each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind decorated pot they can proudly display at home—or even use to plant something special. It’s the perfect blend of art\, imagination\, and hands-on fun! \nAges 4 – 8 \n \nHi! My name is Ms. Akhira. Some of you may know me from The Gorton Children’s Learning Center as I have been a familiar face as a teacher of 3 years. I have a big love for teaching and all things creative. I enjoy helping little ones explore\, imagine\, and express themselves through art—and I can’t wait to create\, paint\, and have fun together in this class!
