Upcoming Workshop Schedule

Bad Art Club | 1st Mondays | 6-8pm

January 5 // 6-8pm

Make art without stressing about getting it perfect!

Explore our rotating lineup of DIY craft stations, where you'll get hands-on with different art materials, techniques, and inspirations—no two visits are the same! Or you can spend the whole time perfecting one masterpiece.

Try out new crafts, projects, and hobbies without having to buy all the supplies. Plus, it’s a laid-back, fun space to hang with your favorite people, no pressure, just creativity.

Cash bar available, pre-order a charcuterie box to snack on while you relax and create.

Cost is $20 ACB Members or $25 Non-Members

Pre-registration by January 2 is a must! Limited space, only 25 spots available.

Give it a Spin: Wheel Throwing

Watch a demo from our instructor, then try your own hand at throwing 2-4 pieces. If you choose not to keep your pieces, we will recycle the clay. If you choose to keep the pieces, pay $15 at the end of the first class to come back for the glaze session the following week!

$35 per person for throwing + $15 extra for glazing and firing (optional)

The goal is not to always finish a specific project but to get exposure to something new and to be with others in art and creativity. This group meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month from 7-9PM and there is a $10 fee for supplies.

Please call 319.754.8069 by the Saturday before to reserve a space.
