 Karen Matson ARTworks Classes
You’ll love these small, casual and stress-reducing workshops… they’re held in my spacious studio, for just three to six people (adults only, age 18+). ARTworks classes are a great way to get together with friends and family, while learning something new.
The two- to three-hour sessions will be fun and informative, and you’ll leave with new skills and confidence to create your own cool stuff. We provide all the guidance, supplies and tools you'll need…you provide the creativity. Complimentary refreshments.
Just put together a group of 3 to 6 prople, then contact me to choose a date and select from several customized projects for your group to create.
And here’s a special offer—bring a group of 6 people (you and 5 others) and your class fee is FREE! (You must have 5 paid attendees to qualify for one free registration.)
"I'm excited about these ARTworks classes—they give me an opportunity to use my 34 years' experience teaching art to show you how to combine colors and patterns."
Here are some of the available ARTworks Classes (see below for info on paying class fees)
Polymer Clay Bracelets

Polymer Clay Buttons
If you knit, sew, or want to jazz up an old shirt or sweater, these cool, colorful buttons are the perfect finishing touch! Each participant will create an original clay design that will produce 20 to 30 identical buttons. Or, like a cookie exchange during the holidays, everyone can swap and/or share their designs with others from the class. Each participant will take home at least 30 handcrafted buttons. Class Length: 3 hours.
