A Little Flutter of Joy: Printed Butterflies for Spring

April invites us to celebrate new life and the beauty of transformation. In this family-friendly mixed-media workshop, we’ll explore simple printing techniques to create a whole flutter of mini butterflies.

We’ll print, cut, layer, and assemble our butterflies using a mix of colors, patterns, and playful marks. Participants may make a small collection of butterflies to display, gift, or tuck into cards — and all supplies are provided.

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

The Reinvention Talisman

A Gentle, Guided Art Workshop for Women in Transition

There comes a moment in life when something shifts.

A role changes.
A relationship ends.
A career evolves.
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 environment.

You will leave with a finished talisman — and a deeper connection to your next chapter.

Limited to 12 women.
$165 per person.

A Little Creative Joy: Wildflowers Play

Wildflowers do not try to be the same.

They grow where they are planted—stretching toward the sun, blooming in their own time, and bringing unexpected beauty to the landscape.

In this relaxed mixed media workshop, we’ll explore wildflower-inspired art using watercolor, collage papers, painted pages, and playful mark making. Layer by layer, flowers will begin to bloom across bookmarks, greeting cards, journal pages, or small artworks.

You might create a loose field of flowers, a whimsical bouquet, or a single joyful bloom. Along the way, we’ll add optional encouraging word slips or scripture fragments that make each piece feel like a small note of joy.

No art experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to play with color, paper, and possibility

A Little Creative Joy: Sun, BIrds, & Joyful Marks

Summer has a way of waking things up.

Birdsong in the morning.
Sunlight dancing through leaves.
Little moments of brightness tucked into ordinary days.

In this relaxed art gathering, we’ll create sun-inspired and bird-inspired mixed media pieces using watercolor, painted papers, collage layers, and simple drawing.

You might create a joyful little bird, a sunshine-filled scene, or an abstract piece full of color and light.

Along the way we’ll add optional tiny words, encouraging phrases, or scripture slips that turn each piece into a small reminder of hope and joy.

This workshop celebrates the simple beauty of creating without pressure—just paint, paper, and the quiet joy of making something by hand.

A Little Creative Joy: Christmas in July  

Let’s take a joyful pause in the middle of summer and create a little Christmas magic together.

Instead of rushing through holiday crafts in December, we’ll gather now—when the pace of life is a little gentler—to make handmade Christmas cards, collage ornaments, and small mixed-media pieces that can be tucked away and gifted later.

We’ll play with painted papers, festive colors, whimsical imagery, and meaningful words or scripture as we create pieces filled with joy, warmth, and hope.

Think cozy winter creativity… but with sunshine outside the window.

No art experience needed—just come ready to slow down, create, and share a little joy that can brighten someone’s Christmas months from now.

Collage Party

A playful collage party where creativity meets joy. Cut, tear, glue, and explore in a relaxed, family-friendly art gathering

Create Art Party: Collage & Creative Play

📅 Saturday, February 21
⏰ 10:30 am - Noon
📍 The Open Studio

Snow and ice changed our original plans, but creativity always finds a way. This rescheduled gathering is now a Create Art Party—a relaxed, joy-filled time to play with collage, layers, and paper together.

This is not a step-by-step class. It’s an open, welcoming creative space where you’re invited to cut, tear, glue, layer, and explore at your own pace.

Tables will be filled with painted papers, book pages, scraps, words, and little bits of joy. You’ll choose what you’d like to make—cards, bookmarks, journal pages, or small collage artworks—and create as much or as little as you’d like.

No experience needed. Come as you are.

What to Expect

  • A relaxed, party-style creative atmosphere

  • Collage-focused creating with optional paint + mark-making

  • Freedom to create multiple small pieces

  • Gentle guidance and encouragement

  • Time to linger, chat, and enjoy the process
