Create a Watercolor Wishing Mobile! In this workshop, we will consider what symbols, images, words and colors we would like to inspire this New Year and create watercolor images on paper to reflect these visions. We will then cut out our creations and assemble into a mobile or wall hanging. There will be plenty of books and resources to help guide us in our image making as well as templates to use, if needed.
All materials provided – simply bring your imagination and creativity! Herbal tea and light snacks will be offered as well.
Contribution: $10-20 sliding scale. Registration closes 24 hours prior to the session with a minimum of 4 registrants. Tickets cannot be reimbursed after the registration deadline unless the event gets canceled by the host.
Accessibility: We will be seated in chairs for the workshop. Please note that there are a few stairs to enter into the building.
We look forward to seeing you!

Her creations are deeply rooted in the personal and inspired by her curiosity in symbols and synchronicities that arise in places, conversations, memories, and dreams.
