A Watercolor Gratitude Workshop
2025-11-08 09:30 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Water Street Studios (411 Water St.), 411 Water St. S, Northfield, 55057, United States
Celebrate the season of gratitude through the mindful practice of watercolor. In this 2.5-hour creative process workshop, we’ll use artmaking to slow down, reflect, and connect with thankfulness. We’ll begin with gratitude leaves as a warm-up and group sharing, then move into creating personal watercolor mandalas as a way to explore balance and reflection. To close, each participant will paint and personalize the cover of a seasonal gratitude journal, which can be carried forward into daily life. No art skills are required—this class is about the process, not perfection.
