Some of the studio artists collaborate on work, as they have done on the large painting. Then the canvas is painted over with white, to be used again.

Art Week! at CMBC Studio

Mon.-Sat., Feb. 5-10, various hours, Cedar Mill Bible Church, 12208 NW Cornell Rd, $15 per session

Discover your inner artist, or explore new techniques and gain new skills during this extraordinary week of two-hour classes at CMBC’s art studio.

Studio director Michelle Winter has created a small space above the office in the CMBC chapel building. The rooms at the top of a winding staircase hold a wealth of materials and equipment and plenty of opportunity to spread out and create art projects.

During this special week, she is bringing in artists to share techniques, from calligraphy to knitting; Lino cut printing, basic jewelry, photography, and much more. Classes are listed on the website. The fees for the art week classes cover materials.

The studio also has regular open hours—Mondays 10-2, Thursdays 12-6— for anyone to drop in and work on projects. “All faiths and none; all skill levels and none” is their motto. Winters’ goal is to “offer a safe space for creativity to bud and bloom.” She has an activity or technique ready to go during the drop-in hours, or people are welcome to work on their own projects or participate in group projects.

The studio welcomes donations of money and art supplies. Learn more on the website or drop in during Art Week and get creative!
