Give the gift of an original work of art this holiday by getting creative at Stumptown Art Studio in Whitefish.
Choose from a number of already prepared bisque ware from piggybanks and figurines to bowls, plates and mugs sets – to only name a few – as the canvas for your creation. Glazes, paints and brushes are provided. The only limit is your imagination.
If a gift of glass more closely fulfills a wish-list item, create your own one-of-a-kind glass fusion pieces. Invent something functional like plates or buttons, or fabricate standalone art pieces or pendants. There is also space to make your own mosaics or bring in a sentimental bottle to be melted and preserved.
Walk-ins are welcome and all proceeds from the sales go toward the non-profit’s art programs and workshops for children and adults.
The studio will also be hosting five afternoon Santa’s Workshops, for ages 7 and up, beginning Dec. 14. Each day participants will create a different item, including cards, gift tags, ornaments, garland and angels. The class size is limited and filling up fast.
For more information on youth classes, adult workshops and the ceramic annex, visit Stumptown’s Web site at www.stmptownartstudio.org, or call (406) 862-5929.
