Studio Artist Series: The Drawing Toolbox: Head And Hands
September 17 and 24 | 5:30 – 7pm
Teens and Adults | $55 for members ; $65 for not yet members
The Head and Hands are often the most intimidating subjects on our drawing journey, but also the most rewarding. If you have been drawing for a while but struggle when you get to the face and hands, you are not alone!
This class is here to help students break down their complicated forms so the artist can feel more confident the next time they set out to draw any range of style, whether it be cartoon or hyper realistic. Students will learn principles of natural symmetry, have access to multiple tools and techniques, and most importantly – learn to let go of perfect symmetry.
Choose Happy: Introduction to Art Journaling
September 19, 2026
10am - 12pm
Teens and adults | $15 for members: $20 for not-yet-members
Art journaling is an open-ended form of art on loose paper or in a bound journal where the focus is on the process of creating and of self-expression rather than a particular end result. This practice also blends painting, writing, drawing and collage into one! Explore the wonders of art journaling with Brenda Lindstrom as she teaches you the basics and joy of this journaling technique.

Visiting Artist Workshop: Fall Glass Blowing with Hot Glass Academy

3, 2 hour sessions per day, 6 person maximum per session
Ages: 8 and up (Children ages 8-17 must be accompanied by an adult)
Price: $105 for members; $115 for not-yet-members
Indulge your inner artist with a two-hour glass blowing session! Hot Glass Academy glassblowing studio will set up a furnace on WMA’s campus. Each workshop session begins with a comprehensive safety introduction to working with hot glass. Students then begin their one-on-one session with the instructor by picking out one or two glass colors for their object, followed by a brief, fun warm-up with glass and tools for each student to become familiar with the material properties of molten glass. Next, students will gather glass on a steel blowpipe or rod, apply their chosen color(s), and shape the glass into the selected form. Each piece will be placed in the annealing oven for a slow cooling process*. Every object is handmade and no two are exactly the same. Students will have the option to create a cup, ornament, paperweight, or flower.
This is an EXCLUSIVE workshop. Hot Glass Academy no longer hosts workshops outside of their studio in Georgia, so make sure you reserve your spot TODAY!

The Head and Hands are often the most intimidating subjects on our drawing journey, but also the most rewarding. If you have been drawing for a while but struggle when you get to the face and hands, you are not alone!
This class is here to help students break down their complicated forms so the artist can feel more confident the next time they set out to draw any range of style, whether it be cartoon or hyper realistic. Students will learn principles of natural symmetry, have access to multiple tools and techniques, and most importantly – learn to let go of perfect symmetry.

Ages: 8 and up (Children ages 8-17 must be accompanied by an adult)
Price: $105 for members; $115 for not-yet-members
Indulge your inner artist with a two-hour glass blowing session! Hot Glass Academy glassblowing studio will set up a furnace on WMA’s campus. Each workshop session begins with a comprehensive safety introduction to working with hot glass. Students then begin their one-on-one session with the instructor by picking out one or two glass colors for their object, followed by a brief, fun warm-up with glass and tools for each student to become familiar with the material properties of molten glass. Next, students will gather glass on a steel blowpipe or rod, apply their chosen color(s), and shape the glass into the selected form. Each piece will be placed in the annealing oven for a slow cooling process*. Every object is handmade and no two are exactly the same. Students will have the option to create a cup, ornament, paperweight, or flower.
This is an EXCLUSIVE workshop. Hot Glass Academy no longer hosts workshops outside of their studio in Georgia, so make sure you reserve your spot TODAY!
*Objects will be available for pickup the next day, following the slow cooling process.
