tear club!
tear club! (october theme: playful mischief)
Welcome to tear club!—a soft-guided, open studio style collage workshop with a new theme every month. This October, we’re kicking things off by embracing our inner Badtz-Maru—Sanrio’s mischievous little penguin who reminds us that it’s okay to be rebellious, silly, and imperfect in a world that often asks us to conform.
In this workshop, we’ll channel Badtz-Maru’s spirit of playful mischief through collage. Think stickers, scissors, hot tea, and cozy rainy-day vibes—a chance to let go, laugh, and create something that feels like you. Along the way, enjoy the benefits from art-making: a sense of calm after a long day, a better night’s sleep, and the freedom to step outside the grind of capitalism for just a little while.
why tear club?
Because sometimes we all need a space to embrace our quirks and discover healing through fun and creativity. Each month’s theme invites you to explore different sides of yourself (this month: your playful mischievous energy!) while letting go of stress, connecting with others, and finding a joyful reset.
tear club! is more than just a collage workshop—it’s a monthly space to slow down, play, and reconnect with creativity in community.

𖦹 Reset after a long week and commit to yourself
𖦹 Connect with community to help you feel lighter
