Heartwork Studios

a working art studio in the heart of quaint downtown Ripon, WI owned and operated by Carissa Sorensen & Laura Pahlas

Heartwork Studios is our creative home. We also love to open our home to our community by offering workshops, classes, and events that celebrate process over product and the fact that creativity is innate and sacred.

Welcome!

It is our goal to create and foster a safe, welcoming community space that inspires all who enter to make meaningful connections with one another and with themselves through a process we call Heartwork, which we define as…

The playful creative practice that quiets the mind, connects to our own inner wisdom, and guides us towards healing, transformation, and a more authentic way of life.
