Celebrate the spooky season with a fun and charming cookie decorating class!
🎃 Halloween Cookie Decorating Class 🧙♀️
Celebrate the spookiest season of the year with a magical evening of cookie decorating! Join The Cottage Cookie for a beginner-friendly Halloween class where you'll decorate four hauntingly adorable Halloween-themed sugar cookies using royal icing. Whether you're new to decorating or have experience, you'll be guided through each design step-by-step in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
Slip into your favorite Halloween costume, Witch's hat, or Halloween sweater if you'd like (costumes are encouraged but never required, and please be sure you can easily decorate in whatever you wear!) We'll add to the festive spirit by serving a complimentary cup of our Witch's Tea Brew while you decorate, making it the perfect cozy treat for a crisp autumn day.
This one-hour class is designed for ages 13 and up and is perfect for friends, family, date night, mother-daughter outings, or anyone looking for a creative way to celebrate Halloween.
All cookies, icing, decorating tools, and supplies are included, so just bring yourself and your Halloween spirit!
Our classes are intentionally kept small to provide personalized instruction and plenty of one-on-one guidance. You'll leave with beautifully decorated cookies, new decorating skills, and memories of a delightfully spooky experience.
Come stir up a little magic, sip some Witchy Tea Brew, and create sweet Halloween treats with us. We can't wait to celebrate the season with you!

Art Journaling Class 4
Art Journaling
An alternative art adventure that will create a diary of your life. You’ll learn how to use different products in different ways. We will be using stamps, stencils, masks, sprays, pens, inks and more as we create collages, and pages that “work”.
Marg, the facilitator of the class loves to sit and look through her books. She finds them full of memories that she created. They inspire her and it does her soul good to finish a book and put it in the shelf with others.
You will feel a sense of accomplishment that will make you smile and want to get started on another.
The class will be monthly but you can continue to create more as you like.
Relax, leave your stress at the door, come in and make friends! For Marg, art journaling was always the best 2-3 hours of her month.

The Teacher
Marg Watts is an artistic “dogooder” that has been living in Greenville for 6 years. She sold her creations in Abacus, a Portland, Maine gallery and Cahoots in Lisbon Falls.
She started teaching art journaling having learned about it at the Everything Art Store in Wellington, Florida. She took monthly classes for many years before she started teaching journaling and other classes, including perfumery.
She had a head injury and found journaling to be very helpful in regaining her confidence and artistic abilities. She found it to be a huge stress reliever and the more she did, the more she improved and began to feel that she was finding her place in the world again.
She started teaching art journaling because she realixed how valuable a tool can be, how interesting it is and how much she enjoyed going home with a book/ page that she continued to work on. The beauty of art journaling is that you can “fix” a page you’re not happy with…and she has fixed many!
She will also tell you she wishes she hadn’t, because if you date your pages, you get to see the road of progress in your work.

Have you ever wished your handwriting looked a little more beautiful? Or wanted a creative hobby that's relaxing, social, and actually enjoyable to learn?
Join local calligrapher Katie of Eden & Ev Calligraphy for a beginner-friendly calligraphy workshop designed for complete beginners and curious creatives alike.

Katie has been teaching calligraphy for over seven years and has helped hundreds of students discover that calligraphy isn't about perfection—it's about creativity, practice, and having fun. Her goal is simple: everyone deserves a seat at the table.
During the workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of modern calligraphy, practice basic strokes and letterforms, and leave with the confidence to continue lettering on your own.
Your ticket includes:
• A guided beginner calligraphy workshop
• Katie's signature calligraphy workbook (which she personally wrote and teaches from)
