Bonham Creative Arts Center

Both Tatiana and Wanda, as well as a number of Windom Art School artists and students, have work in the current show at the Bonham Creative Arts Center. Entitled, Black and White, the show is a wonderful expression of the talent and creativity of our local arts scene, with work in all sorts of mediums. The exhibit will be up for the entire month of August. Be sure to see it, and try your hand at Wanda’s Collaborative Collagraph (pictured below).

Empty Bowls 2026

Believe it or not, the time to begin making bowls for next year is fast approaching. If you want to support a wonderful cause, or if you want to try your hand at glass fusing or ceramics without having to commit to a class, this opportunity is tailor made for you. We begin the effort in late September.  You can get your name on the list of volunteers by emailing windomartschool@gmail.com.  Details will be forthcoming.

Fused Glass

The Glass Warriors have been making amazing art all summer long. The fact is that you, too, can make these amazing bowls, plates, and vases, along with night lights, light catchers, jewelry, and so much more. We have an active and vibrant group of artists doing lovely work while pushing ourselves and one another into all sorts of new and exciting niches of the glass world. A new introductory glass class will be beginning in September. The class 4 sessions of 2 hours each. The cost is $125, all supplies included. The day(s) and time(s) will depend on the number of students signed up and the schedule that works best for them. Claim your spot by emailing windomartschool@gmail.com.
