    We invite you to join us at the ONE Arts Center for our new open studio almost every Sunday! All ages are encouraged to attend. We will set up art stations that will change week to week such as papermaking, printmaking with Gelli Plates, weaving with our Saori Looms, painting, sculpting with clay, card making and more! A staff member will be on hand to teach you how to use the materials and answer questions. We have limited Saori Looms so please sign up to reserve them for an hour at an extra cost.

    Ages 5-12 must be chaperoned by an adult.

    Children ages 12 and older can be dropped off alone.
