Rooted in Making. Gathered in Joy.
Here’s What’s New for Spring at That Creative Space
This is our first spring at That Creative Space.
Last year, this idea was still taking shape — sketches, conversations, a lease not yet signed. Now, the tables are full, the walls are holding work, and we’re heading into our first season of longer light and open windows.
There’s something special about reaching a “first” like this.
Spring feels less like a reset and more like a deepening.
And I couldn’t be more excited about what’s unfolding here in Beacon, NY.
You can view the full Spring Schedule here.
🌿 Foundations & Skill-Building
This spring, we’re leaning into foundational classes — spaces where adults can slow down, build real skills, and grow your creative confidence.

Drawing for the Petrified with Lori Stanford Ross
Intro to Watercolor with Laura Leigh Lanchantin

Any workshop at That Creative Space can become a gift — something handmade or an experience shared.
