Give hand made for the holidays at two new workshops at Jacoby Arts Center!

At the two day Intro to Block Printing on Nov 14 & 15th you'll work on designing, carving, inking, and printing your own small relief block so you can craft whimsical handmade holiday cards and gifts for years to come. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/intro-to-block-printing-workshop

Or create your own heirloom copper Christmas ornaments with us at Fold Formed Ornaments in the Metals studio on December 11th. Dip your toes into metal smithing while making your own unique set of ornaments to keep or gift! https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/metals-fold-formed-ornament

Two great ways to learn a new art form and create hand made gifts your friends and family will love.

What's Coming Up This Week at JAC?

Thursday evening we will host Open Clay Studio for our experienced clay friends who'd like to work on projects independently (no instruction is provided, you must have previously taken a clay class at JAC or have prior experience). You can drop in from 6-9pm and pay by QR code on site or grab a ticket in advance here: jacobyartscenter.org/clay

Friday afternoon is the Hayner Library Young Artist's Club from 4-5:30. This program is free to attend but space is limited, so please call Hayner at (618) 433-2881 to register.

Also Friday, we are hosting Into the Darkness, a Halloween themed watercolor workshop for adults! There's still a bit of space left for this one but we wouldn't wait to grab it: jacobyartscenter.org/adultart

On Saturday you can drop by the gallery between 12-4pm to see our new exhibition - Ghost Stories: The Art of Oddities. Enjoy pieces exploring the creepy feeling of the season! JAC is a free, community gallery space and everyone is welcome.

Saturday afternoon you and your pals can register for Girl Dinner Plates: Fall Edition. Make a snack tray into the shape of a pumpkin, ghost, or cornucopia. Bring the gals or come have fun by yourself here: jacobyartscenter.org/clay
