With grant support from UAA Center for Human Development, Hope Studios is hosting twice-monthly Art Nights now through April 2026. Each Art Night features a different guest art instructor and medium. Art Nights are open to all abilities and skill levels and are perfect for a friends’ night out, date night, or taking time for yourself. Space is limited for each class to keep the experience personal and welcoming, so we encourage early registration. Sign up for one or more of the upcoming classes below.
Art Night with Alberta: Finger-Knit Blankets
January 2, 2026
Learn how to make a soft, chunky blanket using just your fingers and oversized yarn—no knitting needles, no stress, no experience required. The class will be led by Alberta Boulkhouatem, whose goal as an instructor is to make knitting fun and accessible, helping every participant leave with a beautiful handmade item and the confidence to keep creating.
Art Night with Kit: Fake Cakes
January 16, 2026
Ever wanted to enjoy all the fun of cake decorating—with none of the baking? This art night is for you! Art Night: Fake Cakes is a DIY class where you’ll design and decorate a small wooden box that looks good enough to eat—using faux frosting, piping techniques, and fun embellishments. The class will be led by guest art instructor Kit Bramble, who will demonstrate piping styles as you add “frosting,” decorative details, and a personalized message on top. You’ll leave with a finished, one-of-a-kind fake cake to take home!
