Art Classes
We want to offer an exciting lineup of classes just for you. Please let us know what you want to learn!
The Poets Workshop
THE POET’S WORKSHOP led by BA Poet and Artist Alice Reid, is a theme-driven exploration of our lives and experiences through spoken/written word and an examination of poetic forms, genres, techniques, styles, and methods as means to revise and refine our work. It is open to the general public but one must be 21 years old to participate.
Please click the REGISTER HERE button to fill out the Google form if you are interested in participating and Alice will get in touch with you about the online weekly sessions (Monday nights) and the resuming in-person meet ups at Bellefonte Arts starting in June 2025.
Bellefonte Arts presents:
Marsha of Marsha Neal Studio has just added a line up of beginner friendly needle felting classes to the Bellefonte Arts Calendar.
Each class has its own event listed on Facebook with the details about that class.
All classes are ages 13+ due to the sharp needles used to needle felt. And classes are limited to a maximum of 8 students.
If you have a group of 3-4 (up to 8) people that want to take one of her classes, but your schedule does not work please reach out to Marsha through the CLICK HERE button at the top of this page and she can see about offering you a custom time to schedule another class.
Have you ever wanted to learn the basic stitches for crochet or knitting?
Local artist Leslie Friedman teaches 2 hour small 4 people max classes on both topics. She recommends picking either crochet or knitting and sticking with that one technique until you've mastered it, as it does take practice.
In each beginner class you are provided with a hook for crochet, or a pair of needles for knitting, along with a skein of acrylic yarn.
​
Beginner Knitting class:
Students will learn how to put stitches on needles (cast on) and go on to the knit stitch. After learning the knit stitch, students will leave with the knowledge and materials to work on a scarf on their own.
Beginner Crochet class:
Students will learn how to do the chain stitch and go on to the single crochet stitch. After learning the single crochet, students will leave with the knowledge and materials to work on a scarf on their own.
