Art Classes
ArtOrg has experimented with different ways to hold art classes for kids and adults. One particularly successful series has been the small steamroller printing activity that we take to different art festivals and gatherings. In the first summer of this activity, which we call the “Thousand Print Summer”, we printed for 1180 people at ten different events around the region. One of ArtOrg’s goals when we first started was to build a capability to teach 1000 people per year–so we are please to announce that we have found a sustainable way to achieve that effect!

Glassblowing Studio at The Anderson Center in Red Wing
Join Rick Swearer and Gail Dahlberg for an afternoon of glassblowing. This open studio is design for beginners to get a feel for glassblowing and current students to have more time in the studio. Register early to avoid disappointment. Thanks to the Anderson Center for this wonderful opportunity.
There are several ways to register for ArtOrg classes:
1) Call 645-2555, if neccessary, leave a message and we will call you back.
2) Email us at the address: info AT artorg . info
3) Mail us at ArtOrg, 314 Division Street S., Northfield, MN 55057.
In general, we hold classes if we have enough registrations to cover the instructor’s fees. This is a real opportunity for small groups of students. Please talk to us about creating your own “perfect” class in your favorite art area–design your own class if you can find as little as five students! Also, printmaking classes can be offered on an ad hoc basis in almost any schedule–call us for more details. Basically, if you want a class and can find a few people interested in taking it–we can put it together for you.
