Join Us for a Creative Saturday Morning

Come paint with me for a fun, beginner-friendly morning with coffee, baked goods, and step-by-step instruction. No experience is needed — seriously. If you’ve ever said, “I can’t even draw stick figures,” this workshop was made for you.

Each $65 ticket reserves one seat and includes coffee, baked goods, all painting supplies, step-by-step instruction, and a relaxed atmosphere where beginners can feel comfortable, have fun, and leave with something they’re proud of.

Bonus: Everyone who attends will be entered into a door-prize drawing for a chance to win a signed 8×10 America 250 print by Darby Slaton.

Each workshop runs from 10 AM to 12 PM in a private Frederick studio/home setting. The exact address will be provided after registration.

Seats are limited to 20 per date, and registration is required in advance.
