Taste with Color: A Galentine’s Day Chocolate Tasting & Watercolor Workshop
Galentine's day has become known as a day for ladies celebrating ladies, and that's what this night of chocolate, wine & watercolor is all about!
You're invited to celebrate yourself and your favorite galentines with Women of Culture when we experience the Taste with Color workshop, led by chocolate specialist and Founder of the Chocolate Connection, Nettie Atkisson.
In the 90-minute guided experience, you will be led through a curated tasting of craft chocolates and shown how to translate the flavors, aromas, and emotions into intuitive watercolor paintings. No prior art or chocolate knowledge is required.
While the decadent chocolates activate your memory and emotion, you will be guided on how to express what you taste through watercolor’s fluid, intuitive nature for a fully multi-sensory experience.
You're not going to want to miss this night in which creativity, community, wine and chocolate come together to help you connect more deeply with your taste buds, your inner artist, and your fellow Galentines for the perfect girls' night out!
