Art Class: Winter Watercolors

Saturday
December 12, 2026
10:00 am-3:00 pm

Join us for a cozy and creative winter watercolor workshop designed for artists of all experience levels. Whether you are picking up a brush for the first time or looking to expand your watercolor practice, this class offers a welcoming space to explore painting techniques, color, texture, and composition through seasonal imagery.

Participants have options to work from life or from their own reference images and inspiration, allowing flexibility for every comfort level and artistic approach. Throughout the workshop, we will experiment with watercolor methods that capture the atmosphere and beauty of the winter season.

A special portion of the class will focus on translating watercolor paintings into handmade cards, gift tags, and other personalized gifts — perfect for sharing your artwork with friends and family during the season. Students who have previously taken the calligraphy class are encouraged to incorporate lettering techniques into their card and gift designs. All levels are welcome. Come ready to experiment, relax, and enjoy the process of making. Ages 15 and up; all supplies and equipment provided. Taught by designer and educator Stephanie Nace. 

$100 / $80 for members. Join today!
