Free Art Classes
Clever Cucumber teaches free art classes and art workshops in Salt Lake City every month. We are dedicated to making art accessible to our neighbors on the west side, so everything we do is free! Check this page or our calendar often to see what art classes we've got planned next.
July Art Classes

Clever Cucumber Studio
Creators of all ages and kinds are welcome (children under 12 must be accompanied by a responsible teen or adult). Bring your own project from home or start something new in our maker space.

Collagraph Printmaking at Saltgrass Printmakers

Saltgrass Printmakers Studio, Salt Lake City
Join us at Saltgrass Printmakers for our first-ever printmaking class! This two-day class is educational and inspiring for all ages and skill levels. Bring the whole family!
The talented Stefanie Dykes (founder of Saltgrass Printmakers) will teach us the basics of collagraph printmaking in the Saltgrass professional printmaking studio. Collagraph is a printed artwork made using collaged materials on a printing plate to create unique textures and shapes.
"The Artist's Way" Book Club
Every third Tuesday of the Month
6-8 pm
Clever Cucumber Studio
Come together with other artists to explore creative methods for artistic healing in this book club. Featuring "The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity" by Julia Cameron, this club will be a place to share ideas, personal progress, and get encouragement from other creators. There will also be plenty of opportunities to work on your craft and enjoy snacks while we discuss the book.
Though the book features weekly and daily exercises, we encourage each other to take it at our own, sustainable pace. The book club meets formally once a month on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. In between club meetings, you can come to any Open Studio to chat about your journey and create art together.
