This season, Guilford Art Center invites everyone to try a workshop. A few are Valentine-themed, but all are designed as an easy, welcoming way to jump into something new—no experience needed. These hands-on classes bring people together to make, connect, and create side by side. Come with a partner, friends, family, or on your own—you might discover a new passion or rediscover something you once loved.
