Their business is made up of a conglomeration of Katherine\u2019s work with mixed-media collages, Jason\u2019s graphic and web designing, a storefront selling artistic novelty items, and creative workshops open to the public. Their events\u2013which are scheduled once to twice a week\u2013consist of Katherine leading the group through a very open-ended craft that students may individualize in their own creative ways. Classes can range from a minimum of four to a maximum of twenty students per workshop. An average event tends to have around eight students. Since the classes aren\u2019t a strict step-by-step process, Katherine is able to lead large groups of students as most work is self-guided with bits of assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They offer a variety of weekly scheduled events to the community.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Katherine Horst, co-owner of Horst Arts Center, is a local artist with a concentration in mixed media collage. She was born in Pottstown and raised in Philadelphia before moving to the Lancaster area to attend the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design where she graduated in 2009 with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in fine arts. She began focusing on the medium of mixed media collage in 2011 and has exhibited her work in a number of galleries throughout Lancaster County and nationally since then. She realized how much she loves exploring art mediums with others and getting people excited to create, which led to the beginning of her shared business project with her husband Jason. She wanted to get Lancaster County involved in art, so she became the events manager and art facilitator of Horst Arts Center where she can interact with the community in a creative space. Katherine shares her love of art with her two children and the locals of Manheim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Jason Horst, co-owner of Horst Arts Center, is a graphic designer from Lebanon County. He attended Grace College in Indiana for math before switching majors to graphic design and getting his start in the industry. In 2005, he went off on his own doing independent graphic design and web development full-time. After getting married to Katherine in 2010, his business morphed with her fine arts skills to create Horst Arts in 2019. Being an artistic person coming from a not-so-artistic family, he always saw the logical side of art which boded well for his graphic design and web development work. Outside of the online environment of design, he is also passionate about printmaking and wood-based fine art, which he shares with the Manheim community through their store-front. Jason\u2019s drive to create allows him to be creative with his two artistically-driven children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0However, unlike other art spaces, the Horsts usually aren\u2019t using perfectly new supplies but rather take a more sustainable route. Almost all of their classes, other than string art, utilize old recycled materials. 90% of their supplies are donated from the community and re-used by their students in workshops. Most donated materials are old craft supplies, though they commonly also receive building materials, magazines, calendars, greeting cards, etc. They believe that second hand materials have the ability to be given new life through a unique art project versus disastrous environmental damage through ending up in a landfill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h4>Materials Waste in Pennsylvania<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_8615\" style=\"width: 368px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/scrapbook-paper.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8615\" class=\" wp-image-8615\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/scrapbook-paper.jpg?resize=358%2C478&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/scrapbook-paper.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/scrapbook-paper.jpg?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8615\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A collection of scrapbook paper at Horst Arts Center that will get reused during their studio events.\u00a0<em>Photo by Ri Wescott\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0According to the news station WTAJ based out of Altoona, Pennsylvania is the third ranked state in America with the most waste per capita behind Michigan and Indiana. Approximately 9.6 million tons of waste gets put into PA landfills every year, which can be illustrated as about 1,480 pounds of trash per Pennsylvania resident a year. Based on a 2022 study by the Department of Environmental protection, Pennsylvania\u2019s ten most common materials found in residential waste include many forms of potentially reusable art supplies; this includes non-recyclable paper, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corrugated cardboard, compostable paper, mixed paper, textiles &amp; leather, and unpainted wood. To reduce the large amount of waste that gets put into local landfills every year, Pennsylvanians are encouraged to reuse what they can and recycle when possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One of their most popular and environmentally friendly workshops is junk journaling. Katherine was introduced to junk journaling by her sister four-and-a-half years ago and was intrigued by the repurposing of found and scavenged materials; having already been a collage artist for twelve years, junk journaling was right up her alley. The idea behind junk journaling is taking a variety of materials and embellishing a book to make it personalized and unique, similar to scrapbooking. Since so many different types of supplies can be used in the making of a junk journal, the possibilities are endless!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8627\" style=\"width: 569px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8627\" class=\" wp-image-8627\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?resize=559%2C315&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"559\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Common-Junk-Journal-Materials.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graphic created by Ri Wescott from Canva<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some common junk journal supplies include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vintage Greeting Cards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scraps of Fabric and Upholstery\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stamps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stickers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wood Pieces<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buttons<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beads<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stencils<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Envelopes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scrapbooking Paper<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Magazines and Books<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_8609\" style=\"width: 461px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/art-supplies-in-Horst.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8609\" class=\" wp-image-8609\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/art-supplies-in-Horst.jpg?resize=451%2C601&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"451\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/art-supplies-in-Horst.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/art-supplies-in-Horst.jpg?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A collection of art supplies at the Horst Arts Center.\u00a0<em>Photo by Ri Wescott<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Junk journaling is an activity for people of all artistic skill levels, so it attracts people of all ages though this event has gotten the most traction with teenagers and adults. With the recent popularity of junk journaling as a trend on TikTok, interest in this workshop continues to grow. Katherine sees junk journals as a way for their guests to see crafts in a new light and to think outside the box of classic art rules; it can inspire students to begin saving and finding items that could be reused in new innovative ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>___________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h4>Manheim Murals<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_8611\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Glass-Blowing-mural.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8611\" class=\" wp-image-8611\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Glass-Blowing-mural.jpg?resize=528%2C396&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Glass-Blowing-mural.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/projectgreenlancaster.millersville.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Glass-Blowing-mural.jpg?w=512&amp;ssl=1 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mural done by Katherine and Jason Horst that touches on the history of glass-blowing in Manheim.\u00a0<em>Photo by Ri Wescott<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Along with the Horst Arts Center, Katherine and Jason have been a part of a creative side project painting murals around Manheim for the past two years. It is a collaborative effort between the couple, with Jason designing the pieces and Katherine painting the murals themselves. So far they have completed 7 to 8 murals within Lancaster County, both inside and outside as well as on a small and large scale. They use their murals as a way to get the community excited about local history and art culture along with bringing beauty into their area. They have collaborated with local nonprofits such as Friendship Community (a faith-based organization that cultivates the capabilities of individuals with intellectual disabilities located in Lancaster) to create a mural with some of their \u2018Heart Artists.\u2019 Two of their murals stand at the Teen Youth Center (which serves local children) and Supply (a coworking venue space) both in Manheim. While their work within the Horst Arts Center serves the creative community, their mural work transcends that notion and can be enjoyed by any Lancaster County local every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>__________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0While the Horsts love to connect with the Manheim community in person, they also love to give the community something to do outside of the studio.
