Virtual Workshops

Look for an exciting lineup of Virtual Workshops this fall.

Are you missing human interaction and in person learning opportunities due to the pandemic? We may have the solution to help clear up the COVID Blues! New for 2021, Touchstone Center for Crafts will be bringing the workshop experience directly to your home through our Virtual Workshop Series. These workshops will feature renowned artists from across the country giving exciting interactive demonstrations and talks.

All of our Virtual Workshops will be hosted on Zoom and the recorded session will be available for up to 1-month after the class. Students looking to participate must have a Zoom compatible device and a strong/reliable internet connection. Links to the Zoom Session will be emailed to participants upon registration to the workshop. We ask that participants do not share the Zoom Link. If you need assistance using Zoom or have questions in regards to our Virtual Workshop series please feel free to reach out to our Programs Manager, Travis Winters, at twinters@touchstonecrafts.org.
