Saturday Art Hangout
June 13 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
As spring gives way to early summer, the world bursts with color, growth, energy, and possibility. Join us for a relaxed morning of creativity inspired by the season’s abundance. Through collage, painting, art journaling, mixed media, and open-ended art making, we’ll explore themes of blooming, emergence, wildness, renewal, and connection to the natural world.
Choose a project that calls to you or bring your own:
- The Garden of Possibility – Create a collage garden where each flower, plant, or growing thing represents a hope, value, dream, or intention. Using images, colors, textures, and words, build a landscape that reflects what you are cultivating in your life and what you hope will bloom in the seasons ahead.
- Accidental Blooms – Start with random paint marks, scribbles, splatters, or torn-paper shapes and see where they lead. Transform unexpected forms into flowers, vines, gardens, and imaginative landscapes, embracing surprise, play, and the creative possibilities hidden in every “mistake.”
- Sunlit Blooms – Create colorful flower suncatchers using wax paper, tissue paper, and other translucent materials. Layer colors, shapes, and textures to design blooms that catch the light and bring a touch of the season’s brightness to any window.
Our Saturday Art Gatherings welcome artists, crafters, and creative beginners alike, and are open to adults and teens. We provide examples, gentle guidance, and a variety of supplies to spark your process. Participants are also welcome to bring materials from home to use or share at our community resource table!
