Tom Sherbondy was one of a kind and greatly missed. He would be thrilled to know wheels were added to TekVenture Makerspace in his honor. ❤️

In honor of my husband, Tom Sherbondy, donations were given to his Pottery studio called Clayworx’s and so now there are three new Pottery wheels that were purchased and ready for all to enjoy

With the Peony Festival coming up this weekend, we wanted to share a look back at our recent Oil Pastel class with Lily! 🌸

Everyone painted a peony in shades of pink, surrounded by vibrant green foliage. As with so many of our classes, seeing the unique vision each student brought to the piece was the best part. Some artists leaned toward realism, capturing every detail, while others embraced a more impressionistic approach. We can use all the fancy art terms we want, but what really matters is creating in a way that feels true to you. That's where the magic - and the happiness - lives. That is why art, and the Wassenberg, exist.

Never tried oil pastels? Lily has a fantastic duckling waiting for you to create this month! 🦆 (link in profile)
