Welcome to the HOOT Website

Note from HOOT…

Happy 2026!!! 

Welcome to the Heart of Ohio Tole, Inc. (HOOT) website for 2026.

We offer classes every other month, starting in January. Check out the ”2026 at a Glance’ tab

under the ‘Classes and Events’ tab for the entire year. The classes listed there for 2026 with all

the fabulous teachers we have scheduled. As projects are confirmed, that information is

posted. Details for each project are available under the tab for each teacher along with the

sign-up form. We will generally have information for each class posted approximately two

months prior to the class. Check back frequently to see what is coming up.

In April we will be closing our office in Westerville and moving our meetings and classes to a

beautiful facility located in Gahanna, OH. We will still have in-house classes and classes via ZOOM also.

Scroll down and you can meet a couple of our members up close in our Featured Artists section.

Learn what got them interested in decorative painting and see some of their beautiful work.

Consider joining our group. The membership form is under the JOIN tab.
