Messy Art Sessions
Upcoming sessions:
• March 15 — 1–3 PM
• March 20 — 5–7 PM
• March 22 — 11 AM–1 PM
Paint. Play. Get messy.
Messy Art Sessions are designed to help you loosen up, reconnect with your creativity, and explore painting in a playful, pressure-free environment.
We’ll begin with a short creative warm-up to get the creative juices flowing, then move into open studio time where you can experiment with color, texture, and whatever ideas show up on the canvas.
This is not a step-by-step painting class. You’ll be encouraged to follow your curiosity, try new things, and let go of the need for everything to look perfect.
You’ll work on an 8×10 canvas, and larger canvases will be available in the studio if inspiration strikes. I’ll be there throughout the session to offer guidance, pointers, and helpful tips if you want them.
Come ready to get messy and see what happens when you stop trying to make “good” art and simply allow yourself to create.
