March invites us to notice small joys and welcome new beginnings. In this family-friendly workshop, we’ll create tiny woven paper birdhouses and turn them into cheerful cards and mini artworks.

The Reinvention Talisman
The Reinvention Talisman
A Gentle, Guided Art Workshop for Women 40+ in Transition
There comes a moment in midlife when something shifts.
A relationship ends.
A role changes.
A career evolves.
Children leave.
Or a quiet inner voice says, “It’s time.”
If you are standing at that threshold, this workshop offers a calm, welcoming space to pause and honor who you have been — and who you are becoming.
In this contemplative 3-hour experience, you will:
• Reflect on what is changing in your life
• Clarify the qualities you want to carry forward
• Create a handcrafted metal talisman to wear as a reminder
No art experience is needed.
All materials are provided.
This is not about perfect technique.
It is about marking a moment with intention.
Led by Novie Trump, a longtime sculptor and educator newly based in Winston-Salem, this small group workshop blends thoughtful reflection with hands-on making in a supportive and respectful environment.
You will leave with a finished talisman — and a deeper connection to your next chapter.
Limited to 12 women.
$165 per person.
Pre-registration required.
Tickets coming soon

No experience needed — just come, slow down, and enjoy a little creative joy together as spring takes flight.

No experience needed. Come as you are.
