Upcoming Workshops
Sip and Paint Acrylics: Winter Wreath
December 6th
10:30 - 11:30am PT
Come together with a warm beverage and let's play with acrylic painting! We will create a whimsical holiday wreath together - and invite you to explore your creative aesthetic and style. Much like our fingerprints we are all unique - we will help you discover and try different aesthetics in finding your creative style. You can explore hyper-realism in your wreath or go for something abstract or representational - we will provide you with examples of each style and invite you to create your own!
