ART AFTER-SCHOOL: LET THEIR CREATIVITY SHINE!
A little creativity goes a long way! The Denison Arts Council's Art After-School Program gives students in grades 2–12 a place to experiment, explore new art techniques, make a little mess, and have a whole lot of fun.
November is all about printmaking!
Students are discovering the fun of linocut printing, creating their own designs and turning them into one-of-a-kind works of art.
Coming in December: Holiday Creativity!
We'll celebrate the season with festive crafts and creative projects that are perfect for sharing, gifting, or keeping for yourself.
At just $10 per class, it's an affordable way to spark imagination, build confidence, try something new, and make new friends along the way.
Two age groups. One big opportunity to get creative!

Beginning Cyanotype Workshop
Saturday, November 21 • 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
A hands-on creative session where you'll learn to make stunning blue and white prints using one of the earliest forms of photography. This 19th-century process uses sunlight to develop images on paper. You'll create your own artwork using natural materials and found objects, expose them to sunlight, and watch the magic happen! We will use mostly pre-coated papers due to time constraints, but you'll learn about the basic chemistry, coating techniques, and printing tips. No previous experience is needed for this beginner's workshop, and all materials and supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own natural specimens (pressed flowers, feathers), stencils, paper cuts, or photo negatives if you have anything you'd like to experiment with.
$75/person • Maximum 10 participants
Misfits & Mayhem: The Best Recipe Never Written
Sat., November 21 • 5:30–8:30 PM
Supper went sideways. Feed them anyway.
Broken gravy. Dry turkey. Burned rolls. Too many mashed potatoes. Hungry guests.
Good. Now we get to cook.
Join us for a three-act culinary experience inspired by DAC’s Misfits & Mayhem exhibition:
ACT I: THE RESCUE
Taste it. Diagnose it. Save it.
ACT II: THE IMPROVISATION
The plan changed. What do we have?
ACT III: THE REINVENTION
Yesterday’s supper deserves a comeback.
Along the way, we'll make customizable cream drop biscuits, raid the pantry for unexpected appetizers and sides, turn leftover mashed potatoes and ham into handmade gnocchi carbonara, and give leftover turkey—or that very sweet holiday ham—a completely different future in a bright, crunchy bánh mì.
This isn't a class about making the perfect holiday meal. It's about knowing what to do when the meal you planned isn't the meal you got.
The best hosts and artists don't panic when plans change. They adapt.

Linocut Workshop
Tues. Dec 1 & Wed. Dec. 2 • 6:00-8:00 PM
Linocut printmaking is a technique where parts of a linoleum block are carved away to create a relief printing block; its lack of natural grain allows artists to carve smooth, fluid lines in any direction and produces high contrast graphic designs with clearly delineated areas of color. Participants will learn how to design, carve, and print their own 4” x 6” relief artwork. Night 1 will focus on design, transfer, and carving; Night 2 will focus on printing. This is a beginner friendly workshop great for creative exploration, no prior printmaking background is required. Participants will go home with their carved block and as many prints on paper as we are able to make!
$90/person • Maximum 10 participants
