    • CraftWorks at Cool Spring, 1469 Lloyd Rd., Charles Town, WV 25414

    Please join the group planning Artomatic@Jefferson, an event that fills alternative spaces to the brim with various pieces of artwork and performances. Artists pay a $100 fee for a guaranteed mini-gallery space inside the location. The spaces are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. For four weekends in October, locals and visitors will be able to experience what the artists have decided to offer. The work is not organized and there is really no telling what viewers will get. But that's most of the fun of Artomatic@Jefferson.

    The Rock & Tile building, which is about 5,200 square feet, is the location for this year's event. It's prominent location on Rt 340 will attract visitors from Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia.

    NEW! YOGA Comes to CraftWorks 

    Saturday, July 13, 8-9:30

     

    This introductory class is FREE!  Leader Dawn Shue will start with guided relaxation to center the mind, body and breath.  From there we’ll move into a gentle warm up with flow sequences (Sun Salutations) to stimulate the body and breath.  Every session ends with guided final relaxation.  When the weather suits we’ll begin class with some gentle stretches and proceed on a meditative walk through the trails becoming more mindful of our body, breath and the world around us creating a peaceful state of mind.  We will end the hike with cool down stretches and reflective final relaxation.  This is an all level class as modifications are offered for every pose.  Bring your own mat. If you don’t have one, borrow one of ours. Tuition after this first class is $15 per session, $13 for members, 5 sessions for $65 (save $10. and help motivate yourself to stay with it!)



    Be sure to register for this free class as space is limited!
