SAAC is excited to kick off 2026 with a fresh and festive Corks & Canvas workshop, “Hangin’ in the New Year,” led by guest instructor Kate Vernon. The class will be held on Thursday, January 15 at 6:00pm and is open to creatives of all skill levels who are ready to ring in the new year with a hands-on, art-filled evening that promises inspiration, laughter, and a welcoming community atmosphere.
Vernon, a talented local artist and current Kindergarten teacher with the Parkers Chapel School District, brings her signature blend of creativity, warmth, and guidance to the studio. With her comforting teaching style and knack for helping students discover their own artistic spark, participants will craft their own hanging “welcome” door signs, perfect for ushering in the new year with color, charm, and personal flair.
Corks & Canvas is SAAC’s relaxed, sip-friendly workshop series designed to make art accessible, fun, and social. Whether you’re a seasoned painter or trying something brand new, Vernon’s step-by-step instruction ensures that everyone leaves with a finished piece they’ll be proud to display. These workshops are known for their easygoing environment, making them ideal for a creative night out with friends, a laid-back date, or even a solo adventure into the world of art-making.
All materials are provided; participants need only bring their favorite beverage and a readiness to create. Light snacks are provided, and the studio atmosphere is perfect for unwinding after a long day.
