Artful Techniques Class Hosted by Kathy Pflaum at the Topeka Art Guild Techniques abound for all types of art, and the mission of the Topeka Art Guild is to advance artistic techniques across all mediums. Each month, the Artful Techniques class gives students the opportunity to learn new methods that can be applied to their own artwork. These classes are designed to let you explore and experiment without a large upfront investment—perfect for discovering what techniques truly inspire you. We kick off the series in February 2026, meeting on the second Saturday of each month. $55 for each the class as all supplies are provided. Join us for every class or simply choose the ones that spark your interest! Artful Techniques is all about exploration and having fun. Class Descriptions September – Fabric Flower Art Create a small floral arrangement by ruching or folding fabric onto a small canvas. We’ll also cover how to properly wrap and prepare the canvas for hanging. October – Spooktacular 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.
