Looking for a different way to spend your morning and get your creativity flowing?
News 12 New Jersey’s Tony Caputo discovered a Victorian-style home in Island Heights where a typical weekday morning becomes an opportunity for creativity and relaxation for members of the Ocean County Artists Guild.
"It's a social group too, where everybody has fun together. They feel comfortable, relaxed,” Leona Lavone said.
“Pretty much any form of art that you can think of, we do it here,” Katie Miskolcy said.
Miskolcy says every semester there are a new series of classes and the curriculum is always changing. There are also kids’ classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
“It's a nice social thing to do on a Wednesday morning,” Lindsay Reed said.
