Good company. Beautiful settings. Something made by you.

Come for the creative night out. Leave with something you made — and a little more confidence in your own creativity.

Painting on the River

Our rooftop Paint + Sip series at Kawa Ni in Westport pairs guided painting with one of my favorite settings for making art together.

Summer evenings, sunset river views, Kawa Ni fare, and a paintbrush in hand.

Come solo or bring a friend — either way, it's a genuinely lovely way to spend an evening.

Two rooftop evenings remain this season.

Make art inside an old book

Part collage, part book art, and part creative play, Our Altered Book Art Journaling workshop leads you in transforming an old books into something entirely new.

I'll guide you through techniques for cutting, layering, drawing and adding mixed-media details, then you take it in your own direction. Basically I review the techniques used within this project, and you get to BYOB and get into creative flow.

It's playful, a little unexpected and wonderfully open-ended — no art experience required.
