Creativity Center
Located above the Guttenberg Gallery, the Creativity Center is a community art studio with no sitting fee. Guests are invited to choose a project and use the studio space to create, with guidance from trained studio volunteers as needed.
Paint your own pottery, or throw a pot on one of the studio's four wheels. Make a mosaic, paint on glass, or create a glass fusion piece - or choose one of many other creative outlets available.
Available Anytime:
Paint Your Own Pottery
Glazing pottery is one of the most popular projects we offer. It's easily accessible for children, and adults can make their projects as easy or complex as they desire with our wide selection of bisque. Please allow at least two weeks for drying and firing of painted pottery pieces.

Warm Glass Fusion
Warm glass fusion is a great project for adults, even those who've never worked with glass. Glass projects range from small pendants and nightlights to large bowls and vases. The process involves layering glass in abstract or specific designs and then the glass is kiln fired. You will LOVE IT!

Mosaics
Mosaics are a fun project for many ages. Glass pieces are glued to forms and our volunteers will grout and paint to complete your project.
