FLUID ACRYLICS—Intro 1

FLUID ACRYLICS—Intro 1

DATE: Wednesday, October 28

TIME: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (please arrive 15 minutes early)

FACILITATORS: Brian Middleton

CLASS SIZE: 8

MATERIALS FEE: $20 due to facilitator at class

Come learn the fun and messy techniques behind creating unique paintings with fluid acrylics. We will focus on one simple recipe that can be used for multiple techniques. We will create two paintings on canvases using the "dirty pour" and "ring pour" techniques. Every fluid acrylic painting is one of a kind -- it is impossible to create the same painting twice! Please note that you will not walk out the door with your paintings the day of the workshop; because of the amount of water used in fluid acrylic recipes, the paintings must dry for three to five days before they can be transported. Fluid art is inherently messy, so wear clothing you won't mourn if you get paint on it!

No experience is necessary.

#2: If you prefer to pay by cash or check at the door, send us an email via the CONTACT tab to register and note that you will be using this payment choice. Use the option to inquire about scholarships. (We would much rather have you with us than have finances keep you away).

PAINTING WITH PAPER—Still Life
Oct
29

PAINTING WITH PAPER—Still Life

DATE: Thursday, October 29th

TIME: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

FACILITATOR: Gail Devereaux

"Painting with paper" is a specialized, fine-art style of collage. While standard collage often combines unrelated cut-out images or flat papers to create a composition, painting with paper focuses on using hand-torn, textured, or translucent papers specifically like brushstrokes of paint. Artists, like Gail, blend colors, build gradients, and layer organic fibers to mimic the depth, shading, and texture of a traditional oil or watercolor painting.

Whether you are an experienced painter looking for a fresh medium or a beginner eager to explore texture and color, this class offers a relaxed, inspiring space to explore a unique art form. All materials are included, along with a special invitation to bring any personal papers with you that you might want to incorporate into your unique piece.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Paper Manipulation: Techniques for tearing, cutting, and shaping different paper weights to mimic brushstrokes.

  • Color Blending: How to layer translucent and fibrous papers to achieve beautiful gradients, highlights, and shadows.

  • Composition & Depth: Strategies for planning your layout and building layers from background to foreground.

Leave the class with a beautifully textured, finished piece of artwork ready to frame, and a brand-new perspective on what paper can do!

Please register by October 28th. If you have missed the deadline, contact us to see if space is available.

FRIDAY EXHALE—An Autumn Evening of Restorative Yoga & Art

DATE: Friday, October 30th

TIME: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

FACILITATOR: Ashley Sonson

The week is done, the leaves are turning, and the evening is yours. Join us for a calm, cozy pause the night before Halloween: an hour of gentle, restorative yoga, followed by apple cider, light bites, and unhurried creative time alongside good company. 

First hour | Restorative Yoga
We will start with a slow, supportive practice of stillness, breath, and gentle movement, informed by TCTSY (Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga), focusing on internal awareness rather than external performance. Movement will be offered with a mat-based practice in mind, but you're always welcome to adapt it in a chair or in any way that feels right for you. You are the expert of your own body, so everything offered is an invitation. There are no physical hands-on adjustments and nothing to get right. No yoga experience needed. 

Second hour | Light bites, Community, & Art-Making
We will share seasonal snacks and community connection as we shift into open, informal creating. Feel free to bring a project you're already working on (knitting, sketching, journaling, anything!) or explore our studio supplies. All art supplies are provided, and no artistic skill is required. 

As always, we care about the process, not the outcome. The facilitator is happy to offer guidance if you would like it, and skill-sharing is welcome, too. 

What to wear and bring
Wear comfortable clothes you can fully relax in. Mats, light cushions, and chairs are available, but you're welcome to bring your own mat, supports, or a favorite blanket or cozy layer for extra comfort. 

New to us?
After you register, our facilitator will give you a call for a brief conversation about the movement portion of the evening. It's a chance to ask questions and share anything that would help you feel comfortable. 

Come as you are. Leave a little softer. .

Please register by October 26th. If you have missed the deadline, contact us to see if space is available.

If finances are keeping you from coming, please contact us. We believe in the art of abundance and have an Art Angel Scholarship Fund to keep us in the flow state.

You are the expert of your own body, so everything offered is an invitation. There are no physical hands-on adjustments and nothing to get right. No yoga experience needed. 

Second hour | Light bites, Community, & Art-Making
We will share seasonal snacks and community connection as we shift into open, informal creating. Feel free to bring a project you're already working on (knitting, sketching, journaling, anything!) or explore our studio supplies. All art supplies are provided, and no artistic skill is required. 

As always, we care about the process, not the outcome. The facilitator is happy to offer guidance if you would like it, and skill-sharing is welcome, too. 

What to wear and bring
Wear comfortable clothes you can fully relax in. Mats, light cushions, and chairs are available, but you're welcome to bring your own mat, supports, or a favorite blanket or cozy layer for extra comfort. 

New to us?
After you register, our facilitator will give you a call for a brief conversation about the movement portion of the evening. It's a chance to ask questions and share anything that would help you feel comfortable. 

Come as you are. Leave a little softer. .

Please register by November 16th. If you have missed the deadline, contact us to see if space is available.

If finances are keeping you from coming, please contact us. We believe in the art of abundance and have an Art Angel Scholarship Fund to keep us in the flow state.

Art Journaling Collective: Coffee, Comfort and Creative Stains
Oct
12

Art Journaling Collective: Coffee, Comfort and Creative Stains

DATE: Monday, 10/12

TIME: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

FACILITATOR: Becky Gallagher

Step into a cozy creative space where coffee becomes both muse and medium. This workshop invites beginners to explore art journaling for the first time and offers experienced journalers a chance to reconnect with foundational techniques in a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere.

Class Description

Brewed coffee transforms into art through washes, drips, rings, and splatters that create beautifully unpredictable textures in shades of cream, caramel, and deep roast. Once dry, you’ll layer simple line drawings, collage, and reflective writing inspired by comfort, ritual, and the small moments that help us slow down.

The process encourages mindfulness and playful experimentation—perfect for those learning to let go of perfection or seeking fresh inspiration for their established practice.

Art journaling offers a flexible, meaningful way to document your days, reflect on your thoughts, notice gratitude, and build a creative routine that fits your life.

During the session, you’ll explore easy journaling rhythms—daily, weekly, or monthly—and experiment with pens, paints, collage papers, and more. Each page becomes an opportunity to discover your style, whether you’re just beginning or refining your artistic voice.

This workshop also nurtures a growing community of journalers—like a book club for images, words, and reflection—where participants share ideas, learn from one another, and find inspiration in the many ways people use their journals to record everyday experiences and creative discoveries.

What to Bring

Please bring any journal or sketchbook you enjoy using—lined, blank, or dot grid, in any size that feels comfortable. You may bring one from home or purchase a multimedia journal in class if you would like thicker paper for paint and collage.

Feel free to bring your favorite drink to enjoy while creating.

Please register by 10/11. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

Art Journaling Collective: A Gentle Beginning for New and Experienced Journalers

DATE: Monday, 9/21

TIME: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

FACILITATOR: Becky Gallagher

Art Journaling Collective: A Gentle Beginning for New and Experienced Journalers

Curious about art journaling but not sure where to begin? This welcoming introductory workshop is designed for absolute beginners as well as anyone who feels unsure, intimidated, or “not artistic.” Experienced journalers are also welcome to join and reconnect with the basics in a relaxed, supportive setting.

Through simple, step-by-step prompts, you’ll explore approachable techniques using paper, color, lines, marks, words, and images. No drawing skill is required, and there is no pressure to make anything perfect. The focus is on creative exploration, personal expression, and learning to enjoy the process.

Art journaling can offer a flexible and meaningful way to document your days, reflect on your thoughts, notice moments of gratitude, reduce stress, and build a creative routine that fits your life.

During the workshop, you’ll learn easy practices for daily, weekly, or monthly journaling and experiment with materials such as pens, paints, collage papers, and more. Each page becomes an opportunity to explore, play, and discover your own style.

The workshop also creates space for a growing collective of journalers—much like a book club, but centered on images, words, memory, and reflection. Participants can share ideas, learn from one another’s approaches, and find inspiration in the many ways people use their journals to record everyday experiences, creative discoveries, and gratitude.

This gentle introduction is centered on curiosity, comfort, and permission to begin wherever you are.

What to Bring

Please bring any journal or sketchbook you enjoy using—lined, blank, or dot grid, in any size that feels comfortable. You may bring one from home or purchase a multimedia journal in class if you would like thicker paper for paint and collage.

Please register by 9/20. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

If finances are keeping you from coming, please contact us. We believe in the art of abundance and have an Art Angel Scholarship Fund to keep us in the flow state.

MANDALA DOT PAINTING: Harvest Moon Journal

MANDALA DOT PAINTING: Harvest Moon Journal

DATE: Monday, 9/14

TIME: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

FACILITATOR: Becky Gallagher

Limited to 8 Participants/SIGN UP SOON!

Join us for a warm, luminous evening of mindful mandala dot painting inspired by the Harvest Moon — the full moon that rises near the autumn equinox and has long been associated with abundance, gratitude, completion, and seasonal turning.

In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll paint a glowing moon-inspired mandala on a dark blue journal cover using amber, harvest gold, rust, honey, cream, warm white, and charcoal tones. We’ll build the design slowly from a luminous center outward, creating rings of color that feel like moonlight rising over late-summer fields.

No prior painting experience is needed. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance in dot painting technique, color placement, spacing, and finishing details so you can relax into the process and enjoy creating something beautiful.

What’s included:

·        60 page blank kraft journal with Dark blue-painted cover

·        Acrylic paints in warm Harvest Moon colors

·        Dot painting tools and stencil guidance

·        Instruction in mandala layout, layering, and finishing touches

This class is perfect for:

·        Adults seeking a calming, creative night out

·        Beginners who want a gentle introduction to mandala dot painting

·        Anyone drawn to moon imagery, autumn color, and seasonal reflection

·        Friends, family members, or small groups looking for a meaningful shared experience

You’ll leave with a completed Harvest Moon mandala journal cover and a peaceful reminder of what you are gathering, honoring, and carrying into the new season.

Space is limited to 8 participants. Reserve your spot and come create by the glow of the Harvest Moon.

No prior painting experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and enjoy the process! Bring a friend for extra fun!
