Fall Family Workshops
Please scroll down this page to see the complete list of Fall Family Workshops.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Did you notice a change in the fee for your class? To simplify our accounting and recordkeeping, we no longer charge separate studio and materials fees. The total price for your class did not increase but it might look like it did. In fact, the class will actually cost less if you are a member since we are now discounting the studio and materials fees in addition to the tuition discount. We will continue to charge the model fees separately.

10% DISCOUNT FOR FIRST-TIME STUDENTS:
First-time students save 10% off the price of a class when they register for their first class at the Art Center. Discount does not apply toward Transportation, Firing, New Student Material, or Model fees; Summer Arts Camp; Birthday Parties; subsidized classes, and cannot be combined with any other offer.
Call 952.473.7361, ext. 16, if you have questions or to register for a class.
