Our Programs

The Brackett Series and HandmadeEffect present an inaugural series. Join us to practice a new skill, have a dedicated day (or two) for studio work, and participate in a joyful community of artists. Workshops are for ages 16 to 80+, with one dedicated workshop for kids ages 8 to 14. Workshop enrollment is limited and generally have six participants per instructor.

Refreshments will be available (coffee, tea, and light snacks), and each day will have a break for lunch—participants can bring a bag lunch or take a short walk to Hannigan’s Grocery or the Peaks Cafe.
