Capturing Photos Through Watercolor with Marijke
Join us in this skill building workshop focusing on how to watercolor from a photo reference! This is a wonderful class to either brush up on your watercolor skills, or try it for the very first time. A perfect way to wind down the summer and reflect on cherished memories!
As a class, we will walk through watercolor techniques for you to apply in your final painting and start with a warm up. Everyone will get the opportunity to work on a final piece in which photo references will be supplied. It is highly encouraged for everyone to bring their own image as well if they would like! If you are bringing your own photo reference, be sure to bring a copy that can be marked on.
This workshop is meant to get a brush in your hand, build your confidence in watercolor, and have fun making art!

Make Your Own Tunnel Book - A 3D Diorama workshop with Marijke
Join this class to create your own mini diorama filled with your art! We will be walking through how to create a tunnel book and then everyone will get the chance to develop their own little world to put inside of their tunnel books.
These 3D artworks date back to the mid 18th century and were originally inspired by extravagant theater sets.
In this class, we will be drawing, collaging, and cutting to create the imagery within our mini ‘sets.’ This project does involve using X-acto knives to cut out intricate details to create the windows between your panels.
Take part in this class and leave with your own scene, displayed in a dynamic, three dimensional design. This experience is a way to deepen your understanding of layers, depth, perspective, and to have fun shaping and building your own microcosm!

OUR APOLOGIES, THIS WORKSHOP HAS NOT MET THE MINIMUM REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT AND IS BEING CANCELLED. WE HOPE TO RESCHEDULE FOR A LATER DATE. SORRY FOR ANY DISAPPOINTMENT!
Sometimes, as artists we lack content. “I don’t know what to draw,” is a common statement coming from artists. However, if we look back at our day, we can find some meaning that might go overlooked, unless we are able to spend a moment of reflection.
Drawing the happenings of your day not only provides bottomless content to draw, it also gives you the opportunity to process your experiences and gain better understanding of how certain interactions might affect you. You come away from the exercise with lots of drawings and often with insight on your emotional state.
This workshop is for adults and young people aged 12+

Embroidering with Bits & Beads - Adult Summer Art Camp with Marijke
Embroidering with Bits & Beads
An Adult Summer Art Camp with Marijke
July 15th - 17th, 2025 - 5pm - 7:30pm
Jealous of all of the kid’s art camps that pop up this time of year? Why are there no summer art camps for adults? We thought the same thing.
Join this immersive, three day adult summer art camp full of beads, embroidering, and brilliance!
In this camp, we will learn multiple techniques on how to embellish with beads and have the space to create a wearable accessory as well as a statement wall hanging.
Items that are embroidered with beads are expensive and for good reason. It takes a lot of time, energy, and knowledge to hand embroider.
Take part in this captivating, three day art camp and leave with a brand new skill that can elevate any scrap of fabric.
All of the supplies will be provided by C5 Studios. Many bead options will be available, however participants may bring any supplies they may have and want to use. Ages 15+

Drawing from Dreams with Lauren - cancelled
Drawing from Dreams
A dream interpretation and illustration workshop with Lauren Newey Turner
Wednesday, July 2nd, 5.30pm - 7.30pm
APOLOGIES! THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE
Our subconscious has a wisdom that we are unable to access with our conscious minds. Sometimes we are granted little nuggets of this wisdom while we sleep, in the form of dreams. Sometimes we are even lucky enough to remember our dreams and reflect on the hilarity and horror that our minds were able to generate.
In this workshop the participants will be asked to bring in a past dream that the dreamer will illustrate, and then will have the opportunity to share with the group in order to gain greater insight on the encoded messaging within the story. We will explore dream symbolism and archetypes, and practice analysis and interpretation. No dream is too boring to share!
This workshop is for adults and young people aged 15+.

How to Hand Braid Mats with Marijke CANCELLED
Join this class to learn how to upcycle all of those old t-shirts that either don’t fit, have a little stain on them, or suffer from a tiny hole. Fret no further, no need to send it to a landfill.
In this class, everyone will learn how to process old t-shirts into t-shirt yarn and create an aesthetic mat. Once everyone understands how to process their shirts, they will learn how to braid and simultaneously weave a mat. All participants are highly encouraged to bring 3-6 old t-shirts they may be needing to clear from their closet, but there will be some provided as well. The best t-shirts to bring are the ones on the thicker side.
This is a project that can be as small or as large as you would like to create it. The end result is a squishy mat that feels wonderful under your feet, could protect your table from a hot pan, or could even hang on your wall. Crafted from excess material into a charming textile.
Attend this class for an enjoyable evening of upcycling and transforming trash into treasure!
This workshop is for ages 11+.

Introduction to Pan Pastels with Lorraine Masten
Introduction to Pan Pastels - a demonstration/experiment session with Lorraine Masten
Have you heard of Pan Pastels? Local artist Lorraine Masten likes working with this medium so much that she wants to share her enthusiasm with other local artists who may be curious about using them.
Lorraine will be sharing an introduction to Pan Pastels that includes a short demonstration and access to these unique materials for participants to try them out and experiment with effects and outcomes. Pan Pastels are often combined with other media such as colored pencils.
Please note, this is NOT a class with formal instruction, but rather an opportunity to explore and experiment with a material that you may want to begin using as part of your art practice. Lorraine is generously providing Pan Pastels for the session; you do not need to bring any supplies to this session. Pan Pastels are a relatively clean medium so you are unlikely to get colors on your clothing, however they can stain clothing so please dress accordingly.
This is a donation-based session with a suggested donation amount of $10 per participant, with nobody turned away for lack of funds. Adults and youth aged 13+ welcome. We will limit the number of participants to 12, first come, first served.

Stitch and Bitch!
If you enjoy the idea of fiber arts and needlework, come join us for an evening of stitching! You might even add a few new quality humans to your social circle. Bring your supplies for embroidery, cross-stitch, crochet, knitting, hand sewing/mending, yarn-making, weaving, or any other fiber art.
If you’re new to stitching, C5 will have supplies on hand to help you get started. Please note: no instruction will be given. This is not a class!
Open to all, regardless of skill level – ages 12 and up
Sometimes called Sip and Stitch, this circle/club will offer tea and cookies as well.
Join the club! Free to join for C5 Studios members or pay a one-time fee of $10 and come to as many subsequent sessions as you like!
