Step-by-step projects
Encouragement to simply enjoy making art
Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the very first time or you've been creating for years, our goal has always been to help you build confidence while discovering your own creative style.
Learn Online or Create With Us in Person
One of the things that makes Glimmerbug unique is that creativity doesn't stop with the blog.
Throughout the year, we offer in-person art classes and workshops at our cozy studio in Harvard, Massachusetts, where students gather to paint, laugh, experiment, and enjoy creating together. From whimsical watercolors to mixed media techniques, our workshops are designed to be welcoming, relaxing, and inspiring.
If you're not nearby, you can still join us from anywhere through our growing collection of online resources and classes. We’ve got a bevy of choices for online creative art classes too! And they are all “work at your own pace” so you don’t have to rush to get through the lessons. Just do them on your own time!
No matter where you live, there's a place for you in our creative community.
