Emily here 👋
I appreciate Joan everyday, but let’s give a special thanks to Joan Rossini for her 7th year as director!! She has dedicated the last seven years to our growing the art community in our area, and it shows! Through countless events, emails, and meetings she has transformed our art center into a true creative force! It is an honor to be able to be mentored by her and I look forward to the next 7 years!

Glassblowing is back! The glass blowers, from Hot Glass Academy in GA, will be in residence not for one, but two weeks here at TAC.

Come take a workshop and create your own glass pumpkin the first week and then create a round holiday ornament the second week!

Workshops are two hours and $90.00 per person!

Registration opens Monday, 9/23 at 9am! http://tac.clemsoncity.org
