NEW! 💻Virtual Studios introduces a hybrid learning option where you can create together in a new way at Ruth’s Table. Participants can now attend the regularly scheduled virtual session from Ruth’s Table and use our studio materials while completing the project alongside fellow artists. Participants who wish to participate virtually may continue to create from the comfort of their own home.

We invite you to come create, connect, and learn together in our new Hybrid Virtual format! The hybrid class will be held the second Thursday of each month. Check out all upcoming experiences both virtual and in person at ruthstable.org. Hope to see you in class!

Join us for Exchange Table!
Wednesdays, 1:00–3:00 PM

Join us for an ongoing, open-ended creative studio experience facilitated by our Discovery Guides. Each week, participants will be invited to explore a featured project while also having the freedom to work independently, continue a project from a previous session, or bring their own creative ideas to life.

September begins with projects inspired by recycled fabric, including an exploration of Kinusiaga, a Japanese craft that transforms fabric into no-sew quilt-like images. Participate in the featured activity or follow your own creative path using the materials and inspiration available in the studio. All skill levels welcome.

Drop in, make something, and be part of our creative community. Check out further details about this class and all other upcoming experiences at Ruth’s Table on our website .org.
