Workshops

Gentle Painting Sessions — In Libraries, Community Centers & Flower Farms

Whether gathered at a local library, inside a community center, or around the table at a flower farm, each session invites softness, creativity, and a quiet return to yourself. These workshops aren’t about being perfect or polished—they’re about pausing, reconnecting, and letting something gentle unfold through art.

 What to Expect  

• All supplies provided

• A two-hour floral painting session

• Step-by-step, beginner-friendly guidance

• A calm, supportive space—no pressure, no experience needed

For Libraries & Community Partners 

Each session is fully prepared with all supplies, setup, and step-by-step guidance, so your team can simply welcome patrons and enjoy hosting. To keep workshops free and accessible for the community, many libraries choose to help offset supply costs (about $13 per participant). Even a small contribution toward basics like canvases, brushes, or table covers helps us sustain quarterly offerings while keeping the experience gentle and welcoming for everyone. 

How to Join 

All library workshops are free to attend.

Each library manages its own registration, so please sign up directly through the hosting library — either on their events page or by calling the library.

Space is limited, so we encourage early registration to reserve your spot.
