Let's Make Windchimes!
If you love the sound of windchimes, you’ll love this fun DIY workshop. We will assemble and decorate a windchime featuring 4-6 aluminum tubes with wood pieces and weather resistant cord. Chimes measure half-inch diameter by 7-10 inch long with the complete height about 18-24 inches long. While creating a windchime “truly” from scratch requires wood working tools such as drills, saws, and reamers, we’re going to cheat a bit and start from commercial parts. This allows us to focus on creating a custom artsy piece that still sounds great, using paints, beads, wood pieces and charms. And create something in a cozy brewery, rather than a cold and dusty wood shop!
You'll learn how to string chimes plus learn about the parts - allowing you to repair a windchime on your own or upcycle to bring new life to an old chime. And we'll talk briefly about the physics of wind chimes (ever so briefly ... we're here for the art, not the science!). And you'll learn where to go if you want to dive in deeper to this hobby.
This workshop is for ages 12 to adult, but minors must attend with an adult. Advanced tickets required, and will close 3 days before event to ensure we get enough supplies.

Refund Policy & Terms
Cancellation and Refunds
Classes and workshops are fully refundable up to 14 days before a class.
For cancellations 7 - 14 days before an event, we will issue a gift card or transfer you to another class session.
For cancellations less than 7 days, no gift card credit is offered. You may transfer your ticket to a friend or family member. Please give us a heads up. Optionally some classes are available as take home kits and will be offered if applicable.
In all cases, if we can fill your spot from a wait list, we will issue you a refund. Not all classes have wait lists. The more notice you give, the better your options are that we can fill your spot.
If you no-show for a class you forfeit all options for transfers, credit, or refunds. We have procured supplies, and prepped with the expectation that you’d be there.
Class Minimums
Classes that fail to meet minimum enrollment may be cancelled and refunded. Unless otherwise stated, this minimum is 4 paid attendees. We generally hold ticketing open until 48-72 hours before a scheduled event, then make a determination as to whether to continue. Do not wait until the last minute to enroll because you’re afraid a class will be cancelled. When everyone does that, it ensures that a class will be cancelled. You will be notified by email 24-48 hours before a class is scheduled if we are unable to meet enrollment.
Cancellation by Dream Maker
If we cancel a class due to instructor illness, power outage, weather/disaster, etc, we will first attempt to reschedule the class and transfer to the new date. If you’re not available for the rescheduled date, you will be refunded.
Photography and Video
The best marketing is pics of your smiling faces making something great in our classes. Our post class social media posts are a cost effective way to promote our classes and keep costs low. And community members love seeing what people are up to. Unless you specifically notify us, your attendance in a workshop grants us permission to post pics or video clips online. You will never be tagged or named and we never use any material that would embarrass you.
Minors
Unless otherwise stated, teens age 12+ may attend workshops primarily intended for adults. However, the teen must attend with an adult who is responsible for their supervision. The ages may vary based on the requirements for specific venues, liquor license rules, or the complexity/safety of a given craft. We sometimes offer kid or teen only classes which are drop-off. In this case, caregivers will need to complete an emergency contact form and waiver for their children.
Waiver of Liability
In the course of crafting and making art, you may be exposed to minor hazards such as sharp objects, certain chemicals, etc. We will show you the safe use of such materials, but are not liable for accidental mishaps, allergic reactions, or other injuries that may occur during our classes. You agree to accept these risks when you attend a Dream Maker event.
Pet Policy
Dream Maker Creative does not allow pets at any of our workshops whether our own studio or in other venues. Trained service animals are allowed per ADA guidelines. Emotional support pets or those who you bring with you because they can’t be left alone are not allowed. Pets in the classroom are unsafe as we are often moving around in tight spaces, working with sharp objects or chemicals, and can cause issues if other animals are in attendance.
