In this calming watercolor and poetry workshop, we will explore how lines can become a language of their own. We will experiment with flowing marks, color, and poetic words to create artwork that reflects feelings, memories, and moments of meaning. Through mindful painting and guided poetry prompts, we will discover how each line can pause, wander, respond, and tell a story. This workshop invites creativity, connection, and self-expression in a supportive environment where every voice and every mark is valued. Bring your curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to listen to the creative voice within.

Savor the serenity of autumn through watercolor in this calming workshop. We will “branch out” into new artistic possibilities while exploring the theme of connection—how branches reach outward, leaves gather together, and each unique path contributes to the beauty of the whole. Reflecting on growth, change, and the meaningful connections found in every season of life, we will use line as a foundation for our creative journey. With a pen or marker, we will create pathways and patterns that guide our artwork, then layer watercolor and real leaves as tools and inspiration to capture the textures, colors, and stories of fall.
