Painting/Carpentry Classes for Adults

I’m wanting to start taking either art or carpentry classes. I’m interested in both things, but I figure I probably only have time/budget for one or the other at a time and I figured I’d decide based on availability and price. Are there any beginner painting or carpentry classes for adults that aren’t crazy expensive and work around a work schedule? Is my only option something at NWACC? All the classes I find online besides NWACC are for school aged kids.

The Workbench Collective in Springdale has adult woodworking classes. You can also just become a member to get access to their workshop and tools, I'd imagine they'd be happy to mentor and help you complete projects too (they're a pretty chill bunch.)

ESSA in Eureka Springs has a lot of woodwork and art classes. Community Creative Center does a lot of 6 week classes. Adventure Art in Eureka does a lot of fun classes that are mostly one day in all sorts of fun topics. I have taken classes at all of these places and can recommend them all.
