Laguna Beach, CA – Visitors can now try their hand at art year-round in Laguna Beach and let their inner creativity out! Unique hands-on art workshops may be booked on the next trip into Laguna Beach for the opportunity to experience the magic that comes with being an artist.
Beginning October 15, 2010, Sawdust Studio Art Classes, a new, year-round program of art workshops, provides a rare opportunity to create an art piece. This program is presented by Sawdust Art Festival, in cooperation with the Laguna Beach Visitors & Conference Bureau, every Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. offering four opportunities weekly for individuals to artistically express themselves. For only $95 a professional art instructor will guide students through a specialized art process. Each two-hour workshop allows students to design of a unique art piece, in just one session, to wear or to share. Choose from jewelry, pottery, ceramics or tiles. Private lessons or custom group classes are also available throughout the week or on the weekend with advance notice.
Visitors can book classes online 24 hours a day at www.sawdustartfestival.org/studio-classes. The only requirement – a passion for learning! Class sizes are kept small due to one-on-one hands-on instruction.
