You don’t have to be good at art to enjoy making it. 💛📓

In this four-week art journaling class, you’ll experiment with collage, mark making, bilateral drawing, intuitive writing, and more. There’s no artistic experience needed and no finished product to live up to. Just approachable techniques, room to experiment, and permission to make art for the sake of making it.

✨ Give yourself a little creative breathing room. You might be surprised how good it feels! Come as you are. Your inner critic can sit this one out. 😉

📢Attention Pottery People‼

The bisque shelf is overflowing with unclaimed pottery! We have organized it by initials, so please make sure you have picked up all your pieces. Even if you think you don't have something, please stop by and check! It's easy to miss with the bisque-ware.

You have 1 week before it gets adopted by the DAL. 🤪😁

How can you grow as an artist? Learn from those who came before you! 🎨🤩

In this 4-week class, young artists will explore the styles, techniques, and creative approaches of legendary artists! The examples pictured here show the process: study an artist’s work and recreate a piece inspired by their style. Candy was the inspiration because why not?? 😋 Through hands-on projects and experimentation with different materials, students will build their skills, try new approaches, and discover what makes their own artistic style unique.

🦇 ✨You sold this class out immediately! So we made another one. 👀

Make your own creepy-cute bat suncatcher complete with dangling celestial charms and dreamy gothic details. This beginner-friendly workshop is open to all skill levels and covers the basics of stained glass, including grinding, foiling, soldering, and assembly. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind stained glass piece that’s perfect for Halloween decor or keeping up all year long. We don’t judge. 🖤

Grab your spot before this one disappears too. 🦇👻

To everyone attending a class @ the DAL on Saturday, be aware that parking/travel may be effected due to the parade ‼

🚨 BUSY WEEK AHEAD: DOVER TRAFFIC & PARKING ADVISORY

It’s DSU Homecoming week! With events happening throughout the week, expect increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic, especially near campus throughout the entire week.

🚨Saturday, October 10, will be particularly busy with multiple major events occurring throughout Dover:

🚴 Amish Country Bike Tour — Starting at 7 a.m.
Cyclists will depart from Legislative Mall and travel throughout the greater Dover area, including roads outside city limits, for several hours. Use EXTREME CAUTION near riders, slow down, and give them plenty of room.
Info and Routes: https://www.bikede.org/amish-country-bike-tour/

🥁 DSU Homecoming Parade — 10 a.m.
Parade lineup begins at 9 a.m., with the parade traveling through downtown Dover and ending at DSU Downtown. Expect street closures, crowds, and delays as parade activities may overlap with the bike tour road closures.

🏈 DSU Homecoming Football — 1 p.m.
The Hornets take on Franklin Pierce University at Alumni Stadium, with gates opening at 11 a.m. Homecoming activities will bring additional traffic around campus and along Route 13. Expect congestion throughout the day and into the evening hours.

🅿️ ABOUT THAT “PERFECT” PARKING SPOT…
Some property managers in the area of DSU have notified Dover Police that they will tow vehicles parked for DSU events instead of visits to their businesses.

Those parking restrictions and towing decisions are controlled by the property managers, not Dover Police. Read and follow posted signs and regulations before parking on any private property and use authorized event parking only! An empty parking space at a business is not a permission slip-they can restrict parking and can have your vehicle towed!

Please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, follow officers’ directions, and watch carefully for pedestrians and cyclists. Enjoy the festivities, pack some patience, and help everyone get home safely!
