Workshops & Classes

Painting with Sara

Hosted by a local artist at The Crib in The Cob Mercantile, this creative session welcomes both kids and adults with no prior experience required. Two activities take place at the same time. Children ages 5 and up can paint and sign picture frames to gift to loved ones, choosing wording such as Mom, Dad, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, MiMi, or Papa. Adults can learn from Marie how to design and assemble three pairs of custom earrings. Supplies include assorted leather patterns, polymer clay and wood components, with hooks that are nickel free or available in plastic for those with metal allergies. The cost is $30. Space is limited, so online registration is recommended, and participants should choose the appropriate class when signing up.
