Join us in the Maker Lab for a relaxed, hands-on painting session where you can create your own spring-inspired artwork. Whether you are brand new to painting or have experience, this workshop is for you. We’ll provide the supplies, guidance, and space. You bring your creativity.
Paint flowers, landscapes, or anything that feels like spring to you. Take your finished piece home the same day.
This is a great time to slow down, learn something new, and enjoy making art with others in the community.
