Westfield's art class listings are dominated by the Westfield Memorial Library, which hosts eight of the ten upcoming sessions, with Small Town Play Café accounting for the rest. Offerings split mainly by age: Drop-in Crafts and Creative Corner serve toddlers through tweens, while Myths and Magic and the All Ages Art Workshop with Artist in Residence Irena Pejovic draw older kids and families. Almost everything here is free, and many sessions run as recurring drop-ins, so check the schedule below before heading out.
