Join us in the ceramics studio for a relaxed, hands-on Pick & Paint pottery experience, perfect for beginners and creatives of all ages.

Choose a bisque-fired ceramic piece from our available inventory and bring it to life with glaze. Once finished, your piece will be professionally fired in our kiln, transforming it into a durable, food-safe, and beautifully finished item you can use or display at home.

This class is an easy, low-pressure way to enjoy pottery without working directly with wet clay. No mess, no wheel, just creativity. Whether you’re looking to unwind, try something new, or make something meaningful, Pick & Paint is a fun and satisfying way to get hands-on in the studio.

Paper Quilling

Date:

Saturday, June 13th

Time:

10am

Quilling, or Paper Filigree, is the art of rolled, shaped and glued paper to make a unified decorative design. The name is thought to come from the fact that birds feathers, or quills, were used to coil strips of paper.

The art of quilling has been around for centuries with a historical background that spans continents. During the Renaissance nuns and monks would roll gold-gilded paper to adorn books and religious objects, later it caught on as a leisurely activity for affluent women.  

Join Marky Barto for a fun class to learn the basics of paper quilling! Create your very own Flower Bouquet using plenty of colors.

Suitable for beginners

Variety of colors to choose from

Includes all materials and use of tools

Date

Thursday, July 16th

Time

6pm – 8pm

Join us for our first hands-on say candle workshop at Tamaqua Arts Center. Take some time for yourself and learn the craft and process of making your very own small batch soy candles.

You will make one amber jar candle and 4 tealights using 9 oz of locally sourced soy wax. Your 1 wick amber jar soy candle will burn for a total of 44 hours. Tealights burn up to 6 hours.

Personalize the fragrance from an assortment of 20 high quality, phthalate free oils to choose from. Every single oil used is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without phthalates and ingredients found on California’s Proposition 65 list. The oils used in ShePaintsCo candles have no known or suspected carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins, or acute toxins.

Decorate your candle and tealights with an array of biodegradable glitters, crystal chips, and soy wax embeds. Decorate your 4 tealights while your main candle cools.

You will be guided through step by step, no experience needed! This workshop is for anyone 12 and up. This event includes all tools needed for your candle making experience. A wax melter is provided to pre-melt the soy wax, which is then poured into your own pour pitcher to blend with choice fragrance oils. Individual tea lights hold .6 oz of wax and burn up to 5 hours each. Trade tealights you create with others in the group to leave with a variety of scents infused with each others creative expression.
