Chesapeake: A Wood Mosaic Workshop
Instructor: Pam Vruwink
Location: Willmar Community Education
Spend an evening turning wood, color, and design into something you’ll be proud to hang on your wall.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create Chesapeake—a 15" x 15" wood mosaic inspired by the tradition of quilt squares, reimagined with crisp, modern lines. It’s a design that feels familiar yet fresh, the kind of piece that blends beautifully into any home style.
Instructor Pam Vruwink will walk you through each step as you paint, stain, and assemble every piece. No experience is needed—just the excitement of trying something new and watching it take shape.
You’ll leave with:
A completed Chesapeake wood mosaic
A new appreciation for how tradition and modern design can meet
That deeply satisfying I made this moment
Seats are limited—because creating is best when there’s space to spread out and enjoy the process.
👉 Sign up and bring home a piece that’s every bit as unique as you are.
Friday, Ocotober 17th | 6-8:30pm at Willmar Senior High School

FAQ's
Do I need any experience to take a class?
Not at all! Our workshops are beginner-friendly and designed to be both fun and approachable. Whether you're brand new to art or a seasoned maker, you'll leave with a finished piece you're proud of—and maybe a new favorite hobby.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself and a sense of creativity! All materials are provided. If you'd like to bring a beverage or snack, feel free (venue permitting), but we'll take care of the rest.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many participants come solo, and our classes are a welcoming space to meet new people while you create.
Can kids join the class?
Our classes are designed for adults and older teens. While we love young artists, most workshops are best suited for ages 16 and up unless otherwise specified.

We’re not able to offer cancellations or refunds. However, your ticket is transferable—just let us know who will be attending in your place if you're unable to make it.
Is my seat reserved when I register?
Yes! Once your purchase is complete, your spot is secured. Registration closes several days prior to class so we can prep your materials in advance.
Will I get messy?
You shouldn’t—but we do recommend wearing something comfortable that you wouldn’t mind getting a little dusty just in case. Wood + glue = a little hands-on fun.
