Whether you are an experienced artist or just beginning your creative journey, this workshop offers an inspiring and supportive space for all skill levels looking to learn something new.

In this two-day workshop, participants will have the unique opportunity to learn how to effectively paint on doilies, layer them, adhere them to a canvas backing and each other, and seal them for indoor or outdoor display.
