It’s starting to feel like that time of year! The months where nothing feels nicer than a sip of cocoa from a mug you made yourself. Or wrapping up in a scarf you weaved. Or sending a card you drew/painted/printed — yourself.

Getting the idea?

Winter is the perfect time to get creative

And with classes starting up in January, it’s also the perfect time to get a head start on those resolutions. So here are some links to help you out:

• Browse The Art League’s class catalog →
