Autumn Artistry: Crafting Seasonal Keepsakes in Spokane Valley

Fall is Spokane Valley’s season for color, creativity, and community. October weekends fill with workshops where guests gather supplies and follow guided steps to take home handcrafted seasonal keepsakes. Options span family-friendly afternoons, adult-only evenings, and budget-friendly prices. Whether it’s painting, pottery, or mixed media, each class offers a cozy and creative way to embrace the season.

PAINTING

Covered With Art’s fall sessions transform paper mâché into autumn icons. Their October 18 and 25 pumpkin-painting classes let families design rustic gourds for $15. On October 11, guests can give a witch hat whimsical flair for $20. For an adult atmosphere, Pinot’s Palette on Sprague Avenue invites you to sip and paint. Each $43 evening features upbeat music, drinks for purchase, and projects like “Amber Waves of Autumn” (October 24) or “Midnight Magic” (October 25).

POTTERY

Pottery in Spokane Valley turns plain ceramics into fall-festive DIY decor. Reserve a seat for $10 at Polka Dot Pottery’s October 16 “Hocus Pocus Paint Event,” then select from themed pottery priced $15–$75. Expect snacks, Sanderson Sisters-inspired sips, and trivia with prizes. For a pop-culture twist, their Spokane location hosts an October 5 “Gilmore Girls” morning, complete with a Lilac City Coffee Truck latte and pottery inspired by the show’s cozy aesthetic.

MIXED MEDIA

Macrame, textiles, and woodcraft offer cozy alternatives to canvas. On October 4, Covered With Art hosts a ghost pillow workshop ($28)—without complicated knots—and on October 6, their punch needle coaster class ($42) creates a textured rug for your mug. North Spokane’s Board & Brush is another option just 20 minutes away. The tote-painting workshop ($40) on October 11 offers designs fit for pumpkin patches, while October 10’s wood sign night ($73) includes the bonus of a second seasonal project for just $10.
