Join us for a unique and transformational creative expression practice that fosters intuition, explores choice, and combines creative narrative writing with the option of including images in a way that matches your personal style. Say it with words (and only words) through exclusive standard journaling and/or with added images in a visual art journal or larger collaged work of art. Exercise the freedom to experiment with all these options, perhaps to go outside your comfort zone to the growth edges!
This playshop offers a gentle, invitational approach to self-expression, allowing you to process and embrace all aspects of life, from the down right hard challenges to the deliriously happy stuff, and all that’s in between! Techniques and various styles will be demonstrated along with new weekly prompts to ignite your inner flame and use as a guiding light if you so choose. No matter what, this is your journey, and there’s no ‘wrong’ way to express yourself.
Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch or snacks if you want to “picnic” while you create, ponder, or wait for paint and glue to dry.
The cost of this class includes basic supplies. A variety of high-quality journals for mixed-media will also be available at an additional cost payable to the facilitator. You are welcome to bring your own as well. Please send us an email via CONTACT if you have any questions. Don’t let finances keep you from coming; instead, contact us about scholarship availability.
Please register by 8/24. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

FACILITATOR: Becky Gallagher
A calming, nature‑inspired paper art workshop for adults
Class Overview
Create a peaceful, dimensional landscape using layered mat board pieces in this gentle, hands-on workshop at Blooming Peace Studio. This class blends intuitive design with mindful creativity, guiding you through the process of building a sculptural paper scene on a 6×6 mat board.
What You’ll Do
You’ll begin by choosing a soothing color palette and sketching a simple landscape concept—rolling hills, soft horizons, flowing water, or an abstract terrain inspired by natural forms. Using cut and shaped mat board pieces, you’ll layer elements to create depth, movement, and visual rhythm. Students explore torn edges, clean cuts, subtle textures, and overlapping planes to bring their miniature landscape to life.
This process is slow, tactile, and restorative. No drawing or art experience is required; the focus is on mindful making and the joy of working with simple materials.
What You’ll Create
A finished 6×6 layered mat board landscape with sculptural dimension—perfect for framing, gifting, or adding a touch of calm nature to your home.
Skills You’ll Learn
Layering techniques using mat board and textured papers
Creating depth and perspective through color and shape
Building landscapes inspired by natural forms
Clean cutting, shaping, and adhesive application
Enhancing with watercolor or acrylic paint
Perfect For
Adults seeking a peaceful creative experience, beginners, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to explore mindful artmaking in a supportive studio environment.

A Gentle Beginning for Absolute Beginners
Curious about art journaling but not sure where to start? This welcoming, beginner‑friendly class is designed for anyone who has never art journaled before—or who feels unsure, intimidated, or “not artistic.” Experienced journalers are also welcome.
In this slow, supportive session, you’ll be guided step‑by‑step through simple art journaling techniques using basic materials like paper, color, and marks. There is no drawing skill required and no pressure to create something perfect. The focus is on exploration, ease, and learning through the process. This slow, supportive session focuses on exploration, ease, and learning through a simple creative process—no experience required.
An introduction to art journaling is a gentle, accessible creative practice. This session emphasizes curiosity, comfort, and permission to begin without pressure or expectation.
This class teaches you how to use words and images to document your days, explore your thoughts, and build a meaningful creative routine. Whether you want to reduce stress, spark inspiration, or develop a consistent journaling habit, Art Journaling offers a flexible way to express yourself.
In this workshop, you’ll learn simple techniques for daily, weekly, and monthly journaling, making it easy to fit creativity into any schedule. You can experiment with pens, paints, collage materials, and more as you discover your unique artistic style. Art journaling is both meditative and energizing — a grounding practice that supports emotional well‑being, mindfulness, and self‑reflection. No artistic experience is required; every page is an opportunity to explore and play.
What to Bring
Any journal or sketchbook works: lined, blank, or dot grid in the size you prefer. Bring one from home or purchase a multimedia journal in class for thicker paper that supports paint and collage. We also have some journals for donations at the studio.

Templates will be provided for each cutting as well as a set of tools to be used during the class. Several glass colors and combos will be available to choose from for your own unique color palette. Once assembled, your creation will be placed in the kiln for firing and then slumped over a form to create the candle holder or your bowl.
You will be able to pick up your finished creation within 7 to 10 days. Class size is limited to 8 people, as we are working with glass ages 18+ only. There will be a materials fee of $20.00 to be in cash to the workshop lead at time of the class.
Please register by 8/10. Spaces are limited and fill up fast, so register early to secure your spot! If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available or get on the waiting list.

Welcome to your creative sanctuary. Community Studio Hours are designed for makers, dreamers, and artists seeking a dedicated space to breathe life into their projects. This is not just time to work; it is an intentional gathering designed to foster connection with fellow creatives in a warm, supportive environment.
Bring your current passion project or come explore options to get started on one. Settle into the collective energy of a relaxing artistic space. While this time is self-directed, you are never truly on your own. Each facilitator brings their own creative strengths to the studio, offering a different experience each day of the week. Group guidance, casual mentoring, and informal skill-building naturally weave through each session. Whether you are looking to troubleshoot a technique, share a breakthrough, or simply create in the company of kindred spirits, you will belong to a community that inspires you.
Come as you are, connect authentically, and create beautifully.
Please register by August 11th. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.
*You can read Tami’s bio on the ABOUT/FACILITATORS tab. Tami invokes a sense of play and curiosity when making art and often begins pieces without a plan or goal. She encourages herself and others to see and use items such as socks, rocks, gourds, tissue paper, coffee grounds, seashells, thrift store finds and items from home in unique and creative ways while making low stakes art.

Join us for a unique and transformational creative expression practice that fosters intuition, explores choice, and combines creative narrative writing with the option of including images in a way that matches your personal style. Say it with words (and only words) through exclusive standard journaling and/or with added images in a visual art journal or larger collaged work of art. Exercise the freedom to experiment with all these options, perhaps to go outside your comfort zone to the growth edges!
This playshop offers a gentle, invitational approach to self-expression, allowing you to process and embrace all aspects of life, from the down right hard challenges to the deliriously happy stuff, and all that’s in between! Techniques and various styles will be demonstrated along with new weekly prompts to ignite your inner flame and use as a guiding light if you so choose. No matter what, this is your journey, and there’s no ‘wrong’ way to express yourself.
Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch or snacks if you want to “picnic” while you create, ponder, or wait for paint and glue to dry.
The cost of this class includes basic supplies. A variety of high-quality journals for mixed-media will also be available at an additional cost payable to the facilitator. You are welcome to bring your own as well. Please send us an email via CONTACT if you have any questions. Don’t let finances keep you from coming; instead, contact us about scholarship availability.

FACILITATOR: BECKY GALLAGHER
CLASS SIZE: Limited to 8 participants
COST: $50
Kinusaiga is a contemplative Japanese art form with textiles. Fabric scraps are pressed into grooves on foam board to create painterly scenes—no sewing or experience required. This art form is suitable for all skill levels and focuses on upcycling, creativity, and personal expression. In this adult workshop, you’ll explore color, texture, and composition while working slowly and intentionally with fabric.
This class is welcoming to all skill levels and emphasizes mindfulness, sustainability, and creative exploration. Using upcycled fabrics, you’ll design and work on an 8”×8” Kinusaiga artwork inspired by nature, or simple shapes.
All materials are provided, and guidance is offered step‑by‑step in a calm, supportive environment.
Kinusaiga is more than a textile technique—it is a reflection of Japanese cultural values and the philosophy of wabi-sabi. By transforming discarded fabrics into beautiful, meaningful art, Kinusaiga invites us to appreciate imperfection, resourcefulness, and the natural flow of life.
Outcome
By the end of the class, participants will have a finished Kinusaiga artwork, an appreciation for Japanese textile arts, and the skills to continue to explore this technique at home.
Please register by 8/1. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available. Space is limited, so early sign up is recommended. Should class become full, contact us via the website.
If finances are keeping you from coming, please contact us. There are limited options through an Art Angel Scholarship Assistance.

Step into a peaceful space where creativity and nature meet. We’ll start by getting cozy with our traditional tools—Marla will walk you through the unique brushes and inks that make this style so special. You’ll learn the three essential strokes to bring bamboo to life: the sturdy "bone" stroke for the stalks, the delicate "hook" strokes, and the graceful movement of the leaves.
We’ll begin our journey in monochrome, exploring the surprising depth and variety of black ink while painting a quiet winter scene. From there, we’ll introduce color to capture the changing energy of spring, summer, and fall. We’ll end the session with a mini-gallery studio walk to admire everyone’s work as the paintings dry. Come explore the beauty of the seasons, one relaxing stroke at a time!
Please register by 5/21. Spaces are limited, so register early to secure your spot! If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available or get on the waiting list.
