Stillwater Events
Here’s what’s happening in-person in Stillwater:
Let’s Clay – Miniature Snacks for Teens: Saturday, November 5, 2022
Create a miniature pretend picnic! Using oven-safe polymer clay, learn how to prep your materials, shape and form different types of snacks, add expressive details, and receive instructions on how to bake your pretend snacks at home so they’re ready for your next cookout. Use them for decoration, play, or turn them into charms! Space is limited. Registration required. For ages 11-17.
Teen Zines – The Art of Self-Publishing: Saturday, November 19, 2022
Even in our increasingly digital world, the popularity of zines is booming! In this class we will each design our own 4-8 page ‘zine,’ a.k.a. a self-published mini book meant for distribution to a small audience. Zines can be about any subject from politics to make-up tutorials to poetry! We will use many different techniques to fill our zines including collage, drawing, printing, and hand-drawn elements. If you have something to tell the world, then this is an art for you! Registration required. For ages 11-17.
