&lt;br&gt;
Learn how palette choices affect the art-work you create. Without painting color wheels and charts, we will explore color theory by creating several paintings, each using a different color scheme. &lt;strong&gt;Bring your own acrylics or oils (&lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Documents/Materials%20Lists/Color%20Theory%20Oil-Acry%20list.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;materials list here&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/paintkits" target="_blank"&gt;purchase a kit&lt;/a&gt; from the NHAC. Canvases will be provided.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Learn how palette choices affect the art-work you create. Without painting color wheels and charts, we will explore color theory by creating several paintings, each using a different color scheme. &lt;strong&gt;Bring your own acrylics or oils (&lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Documents/Materials%20Lists/Color%20Theory%20Oil-Acry%20list.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;materials list here&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/paintkits" target="_blank"&gt;purchase a kit&lt;/a&gt; from the NHAC. Canvases will be provided.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What about finger painting, play dough, and craft projects? There is a reason why we loved using our imaginations and getting our hands dirty as children - creativity is one of the 12 pillars of a healthy lifestyle. As adults, most of us have been told to ignore our creative voice, its not valuable or we're not talented enough, but that's not true at all! Creating is an integral part of every one of us! Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing. Learn to make one-of-a-kind, unique to you mugs, bowls, and vases, while tapping into that inner-child and finding joy in getting your hands muddy again. *While this class will be going over the basics, all levels are welcome.*&amp;quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:515,&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:0},&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:2,&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:16777215},&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;:0}"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jump into spring with some gorgeous handmade planters made with your own sense of pizzazz!

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class we will focus on capturing light, atmosphere, and mood through loose, expressive brushwork rather than fine detail. We will emphasize quick, effective strokes, avoiding meticulous detail to create a “dream-like” or “hazy” effect inspired by Monet and Pissarro. This is a fast and loose style that is lots of fun. &lt;strong&gt;All materials included.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Time: 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class we will focus on capturing light, atmosphere, and mood through loose, expressive brushwork rather than fine detail. We will emphasize quick, effective strokes, avoiding meticulous detail to create a “dream-like” or “hazy” effect inspired by Monet and Pissarro. This is a fast and loose style that is lots of fun. &lt;strong&gt;All materials included.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Using both indigo dye and traditional fabric paints, we will create beautiful patterns on fabric using the Shibori technique of folding, clamping and twisting.

&lt;br&gt;
Explore oil and acrylic painting in a relaxed atmosphere. Experienced painters can develop their style or try a new technique, while new artists will be taught the basics of composition, color theory and techniques. Paint from a still life or bring a photo or picture.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Ages 16+&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Interested in art quilting but not so interested in sewing? Come and find out what fusible materials can do to move your fiber art away from traditional materials and techniques. We will design and produce a small wall quilt while decreasing the need for the more tedious aspects of quilt making. &lt;strong&gt;Fusible products will be provided.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Materials list below.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Instructor: Stacy Koehler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Dates: Monday through Wednesday, 6/29 - 7/1 (3 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;Materials List&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt;Students will be responsible for:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;4 fat quarters of quilters cotton. Stick to solid colors or near-solids. These fabrics will be for your background, backing and binding. Since the demise of Joann’s, you may have to go to a quilt shop to get these. Nearest is Quilting Needle in Hampton.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Straight pins.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Fabric Scissors.&amp;nbsp; Also bring small ones if you have them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Craft tweezers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
We will have a zoom meeting at least 2 weeks before class to answer any questions and give you some ideas for fabrics, if you need to buy them. Do your best to come to the meeting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Explore oil and acrylic painting in a relaxed atmosphere. If you’d like, feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine! Seasoned painters can work to develop their personal style or try a new technique. New artists will&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;learn the basics of composition, color theory, and painting techniques. Paint from a provided still life or bring a photo or picture to paint.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class we will focus on capturing light, atmosphere, and mood through loose, expressive brushwork rather than fine detail. We will emphasize quick, effective strokes, avoiding meticulous detail to create a “dream-like” or “hazy” effect inspired by Monet and Pissarro. This is a fast and loose style that is lots of fun. &lt;strong&gt;All materials included.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Time: 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class we will focus on capturing light, atmosphere, and mood through loose, expressive brushwork rather than fine detail.

This is a fast and loose style that is lots of fun. &lt;strong&gt;All materials included.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A-419 Absolute Beginners Quilting Boot Camp (SU26) (August 10, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Pictures/Catalog%20Images/Koehler/Koehler%20Quilt%20Boot%20Camp.jpg" alt="" title="" border="3" width="198" height="200" align="left" style="margin: 8px; border-color: rgb(46, 40, 42);"&gt;Registration deadline: August 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Ages 16+&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style=""&gt;We will cover the entire process of making and finishing a pre-designed table topper or small wall quilt, from fabric selection through to the last stitch of the binding. If you’ve wanted to learn to quilt, or you’ve been quilting but are unsure of your skills, this is a chance to get up and running or hone those skills. Bring a sewing machine in good working order which can be left at the art center for the duration of the class. &lt;strong style=""&gt;Materials list below.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Instructor: Stacy Koehler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Dates: Monday through Friday, 8/10 - 8/14 (5 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials List&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;Students will be responsible for:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2em;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;6 fabrics (1/2 yard each of 5, a full yard of one)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A small amount of some scrap fabric, ½ yard or less&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Fabric scissors&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 45 mm rotary cutter (Don't buy a new one if you have another size.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A new blade for your rotary cutter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 6 &lt;font color="#333333"&gt;x 24 inch acrylic ruler made for use with rotary cutting&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Seam ripper. If you have your great aunt Tillie’s, buy a new one&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A spool of light to medium grey thread&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Straight pins&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;If you have a rotary cutting mat, bring it.&amp;nbsp; If not, some will be provided. Don’t put out the money for one until you know you want to keep quilting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Very Important! A sewing machine in good working order. What that means:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;blockquote style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You’ve gotten it out, set it up and have sewn on it for 10 minutes sometime in the last 6 months. You do not want to find out that it doesn’t run well when you get to class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You have cleaned it and oiled it in the week before class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- It has a new needle and you bring extra needles to class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- If you have an open toes foot and a walking foot, bring them to class.&amp;nbsp; If you have feet, but don’t know what they are, bring them to class and maybe we can figure it out. The feet are nice to have, but are not required.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You have your machine’s manual. Bring it with you, or have a link to its on-line manual on your phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2em; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;"&gt;We will have a zoom meeting at least 2 weeks before class to answer any questions and give you some ideas for fabrics, if you need to buy them. Do your best to come to the meeting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

What about finger painting, play dough, and craft projects? There is a reason why we loved using our imaginations and getting our hands dirty as children - creativity is one of the 12 pillars of a healthy lifestyle. As adults, most of us have been told to ignore our creative voice, its not valuable or we're not talented enough, but that's not true at all! Creating is an integral part of every one of us! Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing. Learn to make one-of-a-kind, unique to you mugs, bowls, and vases, while tapping into that inner-child and finding joy in getting your hands muddy again. *While this class will be going over the basics, all levels are welcome.*&amp;quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:515,&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:0},&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:2,&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:16777215},&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;:0}"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class you will learn the basics of wheel throwing in a relaxing, no pressure environment with the added bonus of creating specific items you will want to use every day.
