Decoupage Pumpkins 🎃✂️
No carving, no scooping seeds, no sad soggy porch situation three days later. In this class, you'll use the simple and satisfying technique of decoupage to cover a foam pumpkin with layers of decorative paper, turning it into a Halloween decoration that looks gorgeous and lasts forever.
Go full Halloween gothic with dark florals and moody tones and oranges or make something entirely your own. The beauty of decoupage is that there are no rules: just fun papers, glue, and whatever vision you bring to it.
Once you've got the technique down, it applies to everything: furniture, picture frames, flower pots, trays, and any other surface you want to transform at home.
All pumpkins and materials are provided, including a curated selection of decorative papers and embellishments. No artistic experience or skills required.
Included with your registration: $50 per adult, $20 per kiddo
Food for the grown-ups: Charcuterie, finger foods, adult beverages & mocktails

Atomic Theater Presents "The Kiss"

What better way to kick off the holiday season than with a Hallmark‑esque rom‑com that begins in a Christmas tree lot? They Kiss, a musical comedy written by Ken Crow and directed by Emily Liddy, opens November 6 at the Wheat Ridge Center for Music and Arts.

When a series of mishaps and a sudden snowstorm trap them with a collection of quirky characters, including a fiercely loyal but blunt friend and one very serious police officer, deeper conversations unfold. In the glow of twinkling lights and shared circumstance, the group finds space to reflect on what the holidays truly mean to them. Blending humor, heart, and an original score, They Kiss offers the perfect launch to your holiday festivities.
This production is suitable for all ages.

Art Lab: Batik Totes by Sweet Ridge Studios
Sweet Ridge Studios
Art Lab: Batik Totes
Batik is a wax-resist dyeing technique with roots in Java, Indonesia, where it has been practiced for centuries as both an art form and a cultural tradition. The process is wonderfully strange: you paint melted wax onto fabric to block the dye, creating bold, graphic patterns with that signature crackled, marbled quality that makes batik so cool. We will use this satisfying technique to dye a tote bag!
We use real batik materials here, including genuine tjanting tools and quality dyes, so you will learn the actual technique. You will have plenty of time to practice on scrap fabric before committing to your tote bag, which is good because the technique is a little tricky at first. It is also a little messy. And the melted wax smells absolutely incredible, like sweet honey bees and Summer.
The results tend to be funky, vibrant, and full of personality, and the beautiful thing about batik is that even happy accidents look intentional. You do not need to be a skilled artist to walk away with something genuinely stunning.
All materials, tools, and dyes provided. If you have something else you’d like dye, feel free to bring it, any fabric made from natural fibers will work. No experience necessary.

Fabric Collage Ornaments 🎁🧵
The best ornaments on any tree are the ones handmade with love. In this workshop, you'll cover a set of durable blank ornaments in a patchwork of fabric, building up color, pattern, and texture until each one is its own little work of art. The process works a lot like paper mache, just with fabric instead: tearing, arranging, and layering pieces until the composition feels right. No sewing involved, no artistic experience required, and no two ornaments will ever look exactly alike.
Choose from our collection of patterned and solid fabrics to create a set that feels cohesive and completely yours, or raid your own fabric stash and bring your favorite scraps from home.
These also make a beautiful gift. Pick fabrics that match your own tree, go full traditional holiday, or choose colors and patterns with a specific person in mind.
All blanks, fabrics, adhesive, and tools provided. Fabric lovers are welcome to bring their own scraps.
