Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop
2026-01-18 11:00 - 13:00
Ekphrastic poetry, simply put, is writing poetry about the visual arts.
Together, we will discuss the current exhibiting artworks at Flemington DIY, using questions and prompts, both prepared and improvised, to help us creatively write in response to the local art.
After a mix of group discussion and individual writing exercises, we will share our poetry and hear what we all came up with.
In this process, we hope to create understanding of both ourselves and each other, through writing and thinking creatively in new ways stimulated by local arts.

Liminal Space Fest
2026-01-24 12:00 - 17:00
The new year approaches and you can’t help but dread it. All the things you didn’t get done this year creeping into your resolutions for the next. And you know productivity is not the key to happiness.
But here’s what you do know: that walk home from the NYE party, the first coffee on January 1st, going back to school after winter break. The awkward, transient, cold, blue space after the holidays while adjusting to life in the new year- such an arbitrary but everpresent goo to sludge through. We need something to look forward to. And who loves an escapist, fantastic, endeavor more than writers? Who better to embrace that liminality?
Partially Shy Magazine and Flemington DIY invite you to Liminal Space Fest: a January affair for literary magazines and other literary entities, physical media sellers, non-profits, writers, readers, artists, and any sad sacks who need a place to be on a Saturday in 2026. We’re celebrating lit mags and others vending their wares with good vibes and a fire playlist, in collaboration with sponsors/small businesses in NJ.

CANCELLED Intro to Vision Boarding
2026-01-25 14:00 - 16:00
This is not your average art workshop! Join us at Flemington DIY for a joyful and creative way to kick off the new year. This is a creative empowerment experience where everyone is welcome- no art skills needed. Together, we’ll use the playful process of collage to strengthen self-belief, spark fresh perspective, and step confidently into a bold new chapter. It’s fun, but it’s also powerful—because what we create with intention can help set the stage for real growth and become a visual roadmap for the year ahead.
You’ll explore an abundance of artful collage materials—imagery, stickers, and even playful elements like blank checks—and bring your intentions to life by typing affirmations and meaningful words on a vintage typewriter. With guidance on composition and translating ideas into imagery, you’ll create a visual reminder of the life you want to cultivate. It’s the kind of creative energy that sticks with you long after the workshop ends, inspiring clarity, motivation, and small meaningful shifts in the days that follow.

CANCELLED Intro to Watercolor Pencil
2026-01-25 17:00 - 19:00
Watercolor pencils offer the best of both worlds—the precision and control of drawing and the expressive, fluid beauty of watercolor painting. Led by Teaching Artist and Art Coach Jenny Santa Maria, this class looks to the Impressionists for inspiration, exploring how they captured color and movement with freedom and play. Participants will choose a famous work to reimagine, with gentle guidance and a review of techniques. Along the way, you’ll learn accessible observational drawing methods, practice painting techniques, and discover how professional-grade supplies like Derwent and Castle Arts watercolor pencils can open new doors in your creative process. In this warm and welcoming class, both first-time experimenters and seasoned artists are invited to join us, ease into the creative flow, and experience the joy of seeing art take shape through each stage.
