✨ Art for Relaxation & Mindfulness – NEW Schedule! ✨

Take a creative break and reconnect with your inner calm through our Art for Relaxation & Mindfulness series. Each session offers a peaceful space to explore new materials and techniques—no experience needed!

Over the course of the session, we’ll be diving into:

  • March 4th - Gelli Printing is a fun, hands-on printmaking class where you’ll explore color, texture, and layering using a gel plate. Create unique monoprints with acrylic paint, stencils, textures, and everyday materials—no two prints are ever the same.

    This process is playful, experimental, and beginner-friendly, making it perfect for anyone looking to loosen up, try something new, and walk away with a stack of beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints 🎨

  • March 11th - The Art of Collage is a creative collage workshop focused on exploring composition, texture, and personal expression. Using a curated mix of papers, images, and materials, students will cut, layer, and arrange elements to create a one-of-a-kind collage.

    This workshop encourages experimentation and intuitive design—no experience needed. Come play with paper, discover new ways to combine materials, and leave with a finished piece that tells your own visual story

  • March 18th - Journal Making Workshop is a hands-on creative class where students will design and create their own journal from start to finish. Participants will hand-sew their journal, then fill it with beautifully layered pages using a variety of papers, textures, and mixed materials.

    This workshop is relaxed and exploratory, encouraging creativity, self-expression, and play. No experience needed—just come ready to create a meaningful, one-of-a-kind journal you’ll love to use or gift.
