Class openings still available!

Some fall classes have begun at HMA. There is still time to register for some upcoming classes, including “Bookmaking with Allison Broome.” This five-session class will take place on Saturdays, Oct. 17 through Nov. 14, 2026, from 9 to 11 a.m. in Studio 3 behind HMA.

Erin Dalton, who took the bookmaking class last year, shared the following quote: “I loved bookmaking class at HMA! It was a different pace than a lot of classes I’ve taken and brought out different skills. There was more to the different styles than I thought there would be and it was cool to play with different paper types and textures. I made a small book to use for junk journaling and an accordion book that my family now uses to record holiday memories in every year, so it’s a functional part of our Christmas decor!”

The cost for “Bookmaking with Allison Broome” is $110 for HMA Members and $140 for non-members. All materials are provided. For all the details about this class and others being offered this fall, please visit https://hmoa.org/classes-workshops/
