Art Classes and Workshops
at Sedona Arts Center…and Online!
At Sedona Arts Center, creativity is meant to be experienced. Our classes and workshops — from iPhoneography and oil painting to sculpting, stained glass, ceramics, and pottery for teens and beginners — are designed to be welcoming, hands-on, and inspiring. Whether you’re exploring something new or building on existing skills, you’ll learn from working artists in a supportive environment that values curiosity, craft, and creative joy — all in the heart of Sedona.
Rebel Bloom with Jesse Petersen March 16 – 18, 2026
Rebel Bloom is a mixed-media workshop focused on bold, high-contrast art making. We’ll create and cut our own collage papers, warm up with loose floral sketches, and then pull it all together with mixed media techniques to build a handmade zine that captures your own story of growth.
You’ll design and illustrate your zine using simple construction methods and guided prompts. After we photocopy your master copy, we’ll break the rules a bit—adding color, texture, or a quick paint flick—so every zine has its own spark. Then we’ll trade zines so everyone leaves with a shared collection of work from the group.
Next Steps in Stained Glass Techniques: Lead Came with Sonja London-Hall March 16 – 18, 2026

Scholarships are an important part of Sedona Arts Center. It has a long history in providing students in need of financial assistance, the ability to hone their skills and creative talents. Art classes and workshops also allow an emotional break from daily life and offer social interaction with fellow lovers of art. We are proud to offer our scholarship program, with the help of The Kling Family Foundation, The Ceramics Scholarship Fund, and the Debbie Winslow Scholarship Fund, which allow us to continue this long standing opportunity.
Our mission is to connect, enrich, educate and lead through the inspiring power of the arts and creative discovery.
