This weekend in Deschutes County, OR

Each Saturday brings a relaxed meetup for conversations about bikes and unhurried time with friendly people. The atmosphere is welcoming and low pressure, making it comfortable even for those who tend to be a bit shy.

Drop in to FREAK'N ART to create an in-studio project on your own schedule. Choose from available options and make your piece on-site with all supplies provided, and no experience needed. Walk-ins are welcome, and reservations are optional. If you prefer to reserve, please make one for everyone in your party. Each reservation is for a two-hour session, which is about how long most guests spend on a single project, and reservations are held for up to 15 minutes after the scheduled start. The reservation fee is applied as credit toward the project you select in the studio.
