Drop-In Workshops at Three Pines

“If you can observe, you can make.” ~ Joann Condino

Come visit us in Cross Village and learn to create art outdoors. Open-Air Workshop days are intended to foster creativity and encourage experimentation. Artists and non-artists come together in a social act of collaboration, the only entry requirements being an inquisitive nature, a curiosity about new and traditional media, and a lack of inhibition about creating in a semi-public space. Join us under a sunshade in the studio’s beautiful yard and have fun with us!
