Watercolour Magic!

Ever wanted to try watercolour without feeling like you have to “get it right”?

This four-class series is your friendly, no-pressure introduction to the magical, slightly unpredictable world of watercolour.

We’ll cover all the fundamentals—how much water is too much water, what those brushes actually do, how pigments like to mingle (or misbehave), and how to work with the flow instead of fighting it. Each class builds on the last, gently guiding you through washes, layering, colour mixing, and simple techniques that bring your paintings to life.

Expect guided demos, playful exercises, and plenty of room to experiment, make happy accidents, and discover your own style along the way. No prior experience needed—just curiosity, a willingness to let go, and maybe a love of watching colours bloom across the page.

By the end of the series, you’ll have a solid foundation, a handful of finished pieces, and the confidence to keep exploring watercolour on your own.

Come for the basics, stay for the magic

Get ready to sparkle sustainably! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the magical world of recycling jewelry — because why buy new when you can reinvent something fabulous?

You’ll learn how to use a few simple tools to transform old bits and baubles into one-of-a-kind creations that show off your style.

We’ll explore color combos, mix up textures, and play with shapes until you find the perfect ingredients for your dream piece. And the best part? You get to dig through our treasure trove of charms, beads, chains, and mysterious shiny things just waiting to be brought back to life. 

Come create something totally you — and planet-friendly!

Write, Now! is a creative writing group for people who want to write more, meet other writers, and talk about writing… while also feeling a very reasonable amount of panic about all three.

If you’ve ever thought I wish I wrote more followed immediately by yes, but not in front of people, you are exactly who this is for.

We welcome the brand-new and the slightly nervous, the long-time journal keepers, the secret poets, the lapsed novelists, and the curious wanderers who aren’t quite sure what they write yet. At Write, Now!, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s momentum, play, and permission.

Together we’ll use generative prompts, small experiments, and collaborative exercises to get words onto the page (sometimes surprisingly easily). Along the way, we’ll practice how to share writing in a way that feels safe, respectful, and actually enjoyable. There will also be space for relaxed, gently guided conversations about the writing life — blocks, habits, inspiration, doubts, and the strange mystery of why characters suddenly refuse to cooperate.

You won’t need to prepare anything. You won’t be put on the spot. You won’t be judged.

You will leave with new pages, new ideas, and probably new people you’re happy to see again — plus a growing sense that writing isn’t something you someday start.

It’s something you can do right now.

Write, Now!

L’ikebana — souvent appelé « la voie des fleurs » — est un art floral japonais ancien qui s’intéresse moins à remplir un vase qu’à jouer avec les lignes, le mouvement, la tension et le plaisir de l’espace vide.

Dans cet atelier, vous découvrirez en douceur les bases de l’ikebana, suivies d’une courte démonstration montrant comment les fleurs peuvent s’incliner, s’étirer et s’exprimer d’elles-mêmes. Après quelques exercices de respiration simples pour s’ancrer et affiner l’attention, vous mettrez ces principes en pratique en créant votre propre arrangement simple et équilibré.

Sans hâte ni règles rigides — juste une création attentive et une nouvelle façon de regarder les fleurs. Vous repartirez avec votre arrangement (fleurs et branches incluses) pour continuer à explorer bien après la fin de l’atelier.

Please bring a round flat vessel such as a cake pan or dish.

WORKSHOP: Spring! Soil & Seeds

Ever felt like your plants are trying to tell you something? It all starts with the soil—that mysterious, crumbly foundation where all the magic begins!

Join us for a hands-on session where we get curious about soil and discover the simple secrets to making it the coziest, most nutrient-rich home for your future plants.

Sustainability and eco-environmental mindfulness—recycling what we can, purchasing and sourcing thoughtful ingredients—are the foundation while exploring the specifics of soil and seeds.

We'll explore:

• The Soil Story: What makes good soil good? We'll peek under the surface and learn how to create a balanced, happy habitat.

• Prep & Play: Simple, non-intimidating ways to get your containers or garden beds ready for action.

• The Seed Whisperer: Techniques for tucking tiny seeds into their new homes with the perfect amount of care, depth, and encouragement.

This workshop is all about sparking your inner gardener and embracing the gentle art of starting small. No green thumb required—just a willingness to get a little dirt under your fingernails and marvel at the tiny promise held within a single seed. Let's dig in and dream up some growth together!
