ARTFUL TECHNIQUES - 2nd Saterday Classes (session 1 of 3)

About this event

Artful Techniques Class Techniques abound for all types of art, and the mission of the Topeka Art Guild is to advance artistic techniques across all mediums. Each month, the Artful Techniques class gives students the opportunity to learn new methods that can be applied to their own artwork. These classes are designed to let you explore and experiment without a large upfront investment—perfect for discovering what techniques truly inspire you. We kick off the series in February 2026, meeting on the second Saturday of each month. $55 for each the class as all supplies are provided.
