In this 3-hour guided session, you’ll learn simple watercolor techniques — washes, blending, loose florals, soft landscapes, and more — and apply them to a set of greeting cards. By working small, you’ll build confidence quickly and avoid the pressure of a “perfect” painting.
By the end of the session, you’ll complete six original watercolor greeting cards with envelopes, ready to send or gift.
All materials are included, so you can simply arrive, settle in, and create.

Who This Class Is For
This workshop is ideal for:
Complete beginners
Anyone who thinks they’re “not artistic”
People wanting a low-commitment creative experience
Friends, parent/teen pairs, or anyone wanting a relaxing activity
No art experience required.
Why This Class Is Worthwhile
Starting art can feel intimidating — large canvases and long courses often stop people before they begin. Smaller projects help remove that barrier. You’ll learn real techniques, experience creative relaxation, and leave with something meaningful you made yourself. Many participants discover they can be creative and feel inspired to continue.
This Class Is Perfect If You’re Thinking…
“I’ve always wanted to try watercolor.”
“I’m not sure I’m artistic enough for a real art class.”
“I want a creative night out that’s different.”
“I’d love to make something handmade I can actually use.”
Creativity That Gives Back
Every Aluminary Arts Workshop supports more than artistic exploration. Ten percent (10%) of all workshop proceeds are donated to local charities, helping uplift organizations that strengthen our community. When you create with us, your participation makes a meaningful impact beyond the studio.
