date nights: (new) Staff edition
Alongside our regular workshops, each season we feature a special Staff Edition Date Night. A few members of our team volunteer their time to lead these sessions, giving our creative administrators the chance to share their own skills, connect with the community, and give back in a fun and meaningful way. Join us for a Staff Edition evening to get to know our team beyond the office and discover the creativity they bring to the table!
Cost:
- $40 or buy 2 for $70
about date nights
Since its start in February 2022, our monthly CityScape Date Night series has been a creative journey like no other. Each month, we explore a wide range of artistic mediums, from acrylics and watercolors to upcycling, creative writing, Gelli printing, and drawing. Recently, we’ve added exciting workshops like found object art and memory box creation, making sure there’s always something fresh and inspiring to try. Whether you want to rediscover your artistic side or try something completely new, each Date Night promises a fresh creative experience for couples and friends alike.
ABOUT Anna’s Date Night
Join us for our Needle Felting Date Night with our very own Executive Director Anna Lynch. When she’s not at the office, you can find her exploring the great outdoors, or creating textile artwork at home.
In this 2-hour workshop, Anna will guide you through the basics of needle felting, everything you need to begin (and continue!) your felting journey. You’ll learn the core techniques while creating a small project of your choice: an ornament, fridge magnet, or keychain. With the winter holidays approaching, you can dive into the festive spirit or draw inspiration from your own interests.
