This is the most fun you’ve ever had: we’ll make sculptures of our own hands using alginate molds + hydrocal (don’t worry—we’ll teach you exactly how). You’ll leave with an incredible, perfectly detailed cast of your hand (or you and a loved one’s, besties, two siblings, etc., hands together). It’s weirdly moving, wildly satisfying, and honestly kind of magical—you’ll see. You leave with a unique and special work of art as a forever keepsake. Class fee is per person.

Saturday, June 27 from 7:30–9:30 p.m. at 1152 College St.
Join us in this very fun workshop, where we’ll use watercolours and mixed media (think coloured pencils, oil pastels, and collage) to capture our beloved furry friends, those with us or those who live in our memories. Bring a photo (printed or on your phone) and we’ll teach you to translate the image into a gorgeous artwork for you to take home. Taught by she-with-a-cult-following Sarah Aranha.

Practice your drawing skills while meeting cool people AND amassing a unique collection of portraits of YOU! Every skill level is welcome and no experience is required. Speed is key, meaning there is no time for perfectionism, over-analysis, or being too precious. We practice drawing each other, together, and while doing so have great conversations and deepen our collective understanding of our uniqueness. No drawing experience required! You’ll see: this will be deeply freeing and joyful!

The persistent myth about watercolours is that they are “hard to control” and “difficult.” This class conquers through unconquering: by going with the flow and learning the various techniques that can be used to create genuinely beautiful and expressive works of art. We’ll be mixing media this time, incorporating pencil and pencil crayon work. Hot Pizza will provide supplies during class! Also, best hot date ever. Taught by she-with-the-cult-following Sarah Aranha.

Do you love receiving something in the mail other than fast-food coupons and real-estate listings? So do your friends! Be the pal that writes first by joining the Hot Pizza Correspondence Club. We’ll start with a round of introductions, then we’ll spend about two hours in good company writing cards and letters; trading stickers, washi, ink, and paper; and enjoying good music. We’ll offer some supplies. You can bring some of your own. And if you need it, we’ll run your letters to the post office on Monday. Led by Brian Sholis.

Is there anything better than life drawing? No, no there isn’t. Let’s draw together—low-stakes, super fun, community-oriented. Bring your sketchbooks! We provide tons of pencils, erasers, charcoal, and pastels for you to use.
