May 6, 2026, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

$40 per person

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a meaningful, handmade touch in this relaxing watercolor workshop led by artist Vivian Krishnan. Inspired by the soft colors and textures of spring, you’ll create beautiful, hand-painted cards perfect for gifting to someone special—or as a creative experience to enjoy with a loved one.

Surrounded by a still-life arrangement of seasonal flowers and farm elements, you’ll slow down, connect with your creativity, and craft something truly personal and heartfelt.

What You'll Do

In this hands-on session, you’ll paint from observation using a thoughtfully styled spring still-life. With gentle, step-by-step guidance, you’ll create one or more watercolor cards, learning how to capture delicate details and expressive color.

Whether you’re making a card for a mother, friend, or yourself, each piece will reflect your own style and intention—making it a keepsake as much as a gift.
