Find Your Spark: Join Us for an Afternoon of Creativity and Self-Expression with Mandy Stobo

Dec 22, 2024

Is there a better time of year to pause, reflect, and rediscover yourself through art? As the winter months invite us to slow down, we’re thrilled to offer a unique opportunity to connect with your creative side and experience the joy of self-expression.

This workshop is for anyone seeking to explore their inner artist or simply looking for a way to relax, recharge, and reflect. Whether you’re a seasoned painter or someone who’s never touched a brush, this session welcomes you. It’s not about creating the perfect painting—it’s about enjoying the process and the journey of discovery.

Led by the incredibly talented Mandy Stobo, who inspired many at our recent Spark Joy event, this workshop promises to be a nurturing and empowering experience. Mandy’s vibrant artistry and approachable teaching style create a welcoming space for participants to translate emotions and personal stories onto the canvas. Her guidance will help you see art as a way to connect with yourself and others, encouraging creativity and reflection along the way.

Why Attend?

This workshop is more than an art class; it’s a chance to find connection, inspiration, and a renewed sense of joy. You’ll:

Explore Self-Expression: Learn techniques to translate your emotions and personal experiences into art, fostering self-awareness and creative growth.

Build Community: Enjoy light refreshments and meaningful conversations with fellow participants in a warm and supportive environment.

Recharge Your Spirit: Take a break from the hustle and immerse yourself in the calming and therapeutic act of painting.

Art has the power to heal, inspire, and connect us. Whether you’re looking for a new outlet for self-expression or simply a relaxing afternoon to recharge, this workshop is the perfect way to spark joy and creativity in your life.
