Last fall brought so many fun, creative adventures to The Magnolia Room. In addition to hosting dozens of events, we also hosted several community classes focused on a wide range of creative arts! These classes offer an opportunity for personal growth, new skills, and a fun night out right here in Erwin. From painting classes to basketweaving, we had a wonderful time learning new skills and letting our creative energies flow! Now as we plan the classes for spring 2024, let’s look back at some of the fun from last year!
