Smeltzer House programs

The Smeltzer House Visual Arts Centre offers a variety of art and craft classes for all ages, ability levels and aspirations. Programs are designed to introduce students to new art styles or build existing skills in painting, drawing, mixed media, weaving, knitting, sewing and more. At the Clay Hut, you'll learn pottery and ceramics through hand-building and wheel-throwing while being led by an experienced instructor. At Studio One, discover the world of glass fusing to make your own beautiful creations.
