Spend a fun fall day crafting with your best friend! Local artist Ayana Williams will lead students through creating pom pom “flowers” of all sizes and colors to put together a unique fall bouquet! Each bouquet will come with your choice of thrifted vase. To encourage crafting alongside a friend or family member, WAC Studios is now offering a “bring a friend rate” with each regular or members’ ticket purchased. Creating art beside a friend is always better than by yourself!

 

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Ayana Williams is a multidisciplinary artist and art therapist whose work centers on healing, self-expression, and human connection. She creates intuitively, allowing each piece to dictate its own form and selecting materials based on emotion, energy, and intention rather than limiting herself to one medium. Influenced by her upbringing as a military child, her work reflects themes of adaptability, vulnerability, growth and whimsy. Lately, she has been exploring texture and play through pom-pom-based work, embracing softness and experimentation as essential parts of her creative process.

All classes are held in the train station studio classroom. Do not attend if you feel sick. Please review our Registration and Payment Policy page before signing up. Email classes@windsorartcenter.org for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE CHARLES F. BENDZANS SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The Charles F. Bendzans Scholarship Fund gives students and artists from all backgrounds a chance to take Windsor Art Center classes at a discounted rate. If you need financial support and would like to apply for this scholarship, please email Michelle at classes@windsorartcenter.org 

Charles F. Bendzans grew up in Windsor, was awarded fine arts degrees from The University of Connecticut and Michigan’s Cranbrook Academy of Art, and then went on to become a nationally recognized artist. While oil painting was his passion, he loved all forms of visual art, from printmaking to photography to jewelry design and everything in between. Although he moved to Louisiana as a young man, Charles continued to keep a close watch on what was happening in Windsor, and never passed up an opportunity to brag about his beloved hometown (and UCONN Huskies). He considered Windsor Art Center to be an extraordinarily fantastic asset to the town. Throughout his adult life and until his death in 2019, Charles was also committed to teaching and mentoring others; he felt an obligation to help other artists become they very best that they could be.  It is hoped that his mentoring will continue in part through The Charles F. Bendzans Scholarship Fund.
