When it’s cold outside, there’s something very comforting about gathering with friends and creating something special.  

Creating enhances our mental well-being and makes us happy. At a time of year when nights seem too long, it’s good to know that hands-on work gives our mood a lift. According to Psychology Today, when we “make, repair or create things we feel vital and effective.” It also provides us with “pleasure, meaning and pride.”  


Being creative makes us happy and improves our well-being. Take a class at Three Pines Farm in Cedar Falls. This is Intro to Artisan Sourdough Bread.

We’ve gathered a list of shops in the Cedar Valley that teach classes. Grab your girlfriends and go as a group, or go by yourself and make new friends.  Their friendly staff at these shops will be happy to help you.
