Mosaic is a process of putting things together—one piece at a time.

In this class with Shari, you’ll explore how to design and build your own mosaic, learning how placement, spacing, and pattern shape the final piece. It’s hands-on, a little methodical, and surprisingly creative.

Come ready to slow down, pay attention, and watch something take shape.

Negative space painting is about seeing what’s not there.

Instead of painting the object itself, we focus on the shapes around it—the spaces that define it. It shifts how you see, how you simplify, and how you build a composition.

In this acrylic class with Moriah, we’ll use negative space as a tool to slow down, observe more closely, and create bold, intentional paintings. This approach helps take the pressure off “getting it right” and opens up a more intuitive way of working.

In this class, you’ll paint your own fan while getting a feel for how watercolor works on a surface that isn’t flat.

The folds, the material, and the movement all change how the paint behaves—so part of the process is learning to work with that instead of trying to control it. You’ll try different approaches, build your design as you go, and see how it develops.

It’s hands-on, a little experimental, and open to all levels.

Music & Mayhem is a relaxed, creative session where things are a little less structured and a lot more open.

With music playing and a mix of materials in front of you, the focus is on making, experimenting, and seeing what happens. You might paint, build, carve, or combine ideas—there’s space to try things without needing a perfect outcome.

Come ready to work with your hands, follow your instincts, and enjoy the process.

This class focuses on letting the paint move and guide the process. You’ll build layers, follow the marks, and learn to step back from control—allowing the image to emerge rather than forcing it.
