Autumn/ Winter 2015 class schedule!


Nice Autumn weather make it easier to focus. Art Farm is a good place for kids and adults to be creative. The experience itself is priceless! We’ve planned some seasonal theme workshops, and trying a new technique class, and another ceramics and Japanese culture workshop. Please check them out! Do you have something else you would like to make? Our “One day handbuilding class” is open for you! No experience necessary!




 One day group handbuilding classes 


The holiday season is coming! You can make a one of a kind gift that you would never be able to buy in the store for somebody special, or use your very own tableware to prepare for the holiday dinner. You can decorate your house with an art piece you make. A great activity for family and friends. There is no theme, just bring your ideas!
