Join us for a relaxed watercolor still life class with beautiful baked goods and bright citrus! Students will slow down and capture a moment of calm, delicious, creative joy.

Local artist Tina Fuller Somers will guide participants through mindful observation, playful sketching, and approachable watercolor techniques, sharing her recipe for a joyful sketch session. This class is about being present, exploring materials, and enjoying the process—no experience necessary.

Come ready to sip w**e and bubbly water, enjoy a sourdough bread & cheese board, sketch and paint….

All artist levels are welcome.

*GF crackers and non-alcoholic drinks provided too

Join us for an evening of cupcake baking and decorating! This workshop will be taught by our very own cupcake expert, Jocelyn. We will go over easy, elevated design techniques that you can do at home like a pro ~ think luster dust, gold leaf and ganache. Participants will learn how to bake one cupcake variety and two different frostings, and will go home with cupcakes to share with loved ones ~ come ready to roll your sleeves up and have some fun!
