              &lt;p data-start="207" data-end="237"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="207" data-end="237"&gt;Hosted by Kathy Pflaum at the Topeka Art Guild&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="239" data-end="372"&gt;Techniques abound for all types of art, and the mission of the Topeka Art Guild is to advance artistic techniques across all mediums.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="374" data-end="668"&gt;Each month, the &lt;strong data-start="390" data-end="411"&gt;Artful Techniques&lt;/strong&gt; class gives students the opportunity to learn new methods that can be applied to their own artwork. These classes are designed to let you &lt;em data-start="550" data-end="574"&gt;explore and experiment&lt;/em&gt; without a large upfront investment—perfect for discovering what techniques truly inspire you.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="670" data-end="764"&gt;We kick off the series in &lt;strong data-start="696" data-end="713"&gt;February 2026&lt;/strong&gt;, meeting on the &lt;strong data-start="730" data-end="763"&gt;second Saturday of each month&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="670" data-end="764"&gt;$55 for each the class as all supplies are provided.&amp;nbsp;Join us for every class or simply choose the ones that spark your interest!&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="766" data-end="904"&gt;Artful Techniques is all about &lt;strong data-start="797" data-end="827"&gt;exploration and having fun&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;h2 data-start="911" data-end="932"&gt;Class Descriptions&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br&gt;
              &lt;hr data-start="2634" data-end="2637"&gt;

              &lt;h3 data-start="2639" data-end="2676"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="2643" data-end="2676"&gt;September – Fabric Flower Art&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="2677" data-end="2836"&gt;Create a small floral arrangement by ruching or folding fabric onto a small canvas.&lt;br data-start="2760" data-end="2763"&gt;
              We’ll also cover how to properly wrap and prepare the canvas for hanging.&lt;/p&gt;
              &lt;hr data-start="2838" data-end="2841"&gt;

              &lt;h3 data-start="2843" data-end="2864"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="2847" data-end="2864"&gt;October –&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Spooktacular&lt;/h3&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="2865" data-end="2885"&gt;Soft transparent layers and magical watery movement make watercolor a great medium for the spooky season. We will create moody backgrounds, let the water move the paint into spooky shapes, and learn to lift the paint to create glowing lights and atmospheric mist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/article&gt;

&lt;h3 data-start="2843" data-end="2864"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="2847" data-end="2864"&gt;November -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Scandinavian Christmas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us in making at least 6 Scandinavian inspired Christmas decorations like smallkarameller (Swedish tissue paper decorations that look like wrapped candies), julharta (Danish woven Christmas heart), and joulutahti (Finnish paper stars).&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;While we are creating our treasures, we will taste some traditional Christmas goodies like rommegrot (Norwegian Christmas pudding), pepparkakor (Swedish spiced gingersnaps), and hallongrotta (raspberry thumbprint shortbread cookies.)&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This class is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit! &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Teacher -&amp;nbsp;Debi Feyh&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-start="2843" data-end="2864"&gt;December&amp;nbsp; - Holiday Cards&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;December 12 - Holiday Cards - This class is making several cards with various techniques, such as pop-up cards, folded cards, and other festive greetings.&amp;nbsp; The class will be taught by Kathy Pflaum.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;h2 data-start="178" data-end="206"&gt;Artful Techniques Class&lt;/h2&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="207" data-end="237"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="207" data-end="237"&gt;Hosted by Kathy Pflaum at the Topeka Art Guild&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="239" data-end="372"&gt;Techniques abound for all types of art, and the mission of the Topeka Art Guild is to advance artistic techniques across all mediums.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="374" data-end="668"&gt;Each month, the &lt;strong data-start="390" data-end="411"&gt;Artful Techniques&lt;/strong&gt; class gives students the opportunity to learn new methods that can be applied to their own artwork. These classes are designed to let you &lt;em data-start="550" data-end="574"&gt;explore and experiment&lt;/em&gt; without a large upfront investment—perfect for discovering what techniques truly inspire you.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="670" data-end="764"&gt;We kick off the series in &lt;strong data-start="696" data-end="713"&gt;February 2026&lt;/strong&gt;, meeting on the &lt;strong data-start="730" data-end="763"&gt;second Saturday of each month&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="670" data-end="764"&gt;$55 for each the class as all supplies are provided.&amp;nbsp;Join us for every class or simply choose the ones that spark your interest!&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="766" data-end="904"&gt;Artful Techniques is all about &lt;strong data-start="797" data-end="827"&gt;exploration and having fun&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;h2 data-start="911" data-end="932"&gt;Class Descriptions&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br&gt;
              &lt;hr data-start="2634" data-end="2637"&gt;

              &lt;h3 data-start="2639" data-end="2676"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="2643" data-end="2676"&gt;September – Fabric Flower Art&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="2677" data-end="2836"&gt;Create a small floral arrangement by ruching or folding fabric onto a small canvas.&lt;br data-start="2760" data-end="2763"&gt;
              We’ll also cover how to properly wrap and prepare the canvas for hanging.&lt;/p&gt;
              &lt;hr data-start="2838" data-end="2841"&gt;

              &lt;h3 data-start="2843" data-end="2864"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="2847" data-end="2864"&gt;October –&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Spooktacular&lt;/h3&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="2865" data-end="2885"&gt;Soft transparent layers and magical watery movement make watercolor a great medium for the spooky season. We will create moody backgrounds, let the water move the paint into spooky shapes, and learn to lift the paint to create glowing lights and atmospheric mist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/article&gt;
