Growing Through Creativity
Every flower begins as a seed.
Some bloom quickly. Others take a little longer. Each one grows in its own time, in its own way.
Join artist Chris Jacob of Miss Chris Art for a creative workshop celebrating resilience, hope, and personal growth. Through acrylic painting, floral design, and thoughtful reflection, participants will create a beautiful keepsake that serves as a reminder that growth isn't about perfection—it's about continuing to bloom, wherever life has planted you.
Throughout the afternoon, young artists will:
Paint a vibrant floral-inspired acrylic artwork.
Personalize a flower pot with meaningful colors, patterns, or words.
Create a simple dried flower arrangement to take home.
Reflect on the importance of gratitude, journaling, and recognizing growth through life's changing seasons.
Together, we'll explore how flowers teach us valuable lessons about resilience. They adapt to changing weather, grow through difficult conditions, and continue reaching toward the light. Like every flower, every person has unique gifts, strengths, and the ability to flourish.

Shaping Hope
Discover the Healing Power of Clay
A Ceramic Clay Workshop for Youth
Sometimes the best way to express what's inside is to create it with your hands.
Join us for a hands-on ceramic clay experience where young artists will explore the timeless art of working with natural clay. Through shaping, sculpting, and creating, participants will discover how the creative process can become a powerful way to reflect, express emotions, and celebrate their own journey.
Using natural earth clay, each artist will design a meaningful ceramic piece that represents hope, resilience, growth, or a personal story. Along the way, they'll learn the fundamentals of hand-building, texture techniques, and how clay is transformed through drying and kiln firing into a lasting work of art.
Working with clay invites us to slow down, embrace imperfection, and trust the process. Just as clay is shaped by caring hands and strengthened by fire, we, too, are continually shaped by our experiences and the people who support us along the way.
Every finished piece becomes a reminder that growth takes time, beauty can emerge from unexpected places, and every story has value.
Workshop Highlights
Learn the basics of hand-building with ceramic clay
Explore natural textures and earth-inspired materials
Create a meaningful sculpture or keepsake that reflects your personal journey
Discover how clay is dried, fired, and transformed into a lasting piece of art

Join artist Wolf Hansen for a fun, hands-on workshop where you'll discover the art of wire wrapping while creating your own whimsical fish mobile. Using wire, colorful beads, and found objects, you'll learn techniques for shaping, wrapping, and designing a one-of-a-kind work of art that reflects your own creativity.

As your fish takes shape, you'll choose colors, textures, and treasures that tell your own story—creating more than just a mobile, but a meaningful reminder of your own strength and journey.
Every current shapes us. Every journey matters. Every artist has a story to tell.

Carry What Matters: Tokens of Hope
What if you could create a small reminder of your own strength—something you could carry with you wherever you go?
Join artist Wolf Hansen for a creative two-part workshop where you'll learn the art of working with polymer clay while designing your own meaningful intention amulets, worry stones, and wearable jewelry.
Using color, texture, and symbolism, participants will shape unique pieces that reflect their hopes, strengths, dreams, or personal intentions. Whether it's a pendant that reminds you to be brave, a worry stone that brings calm during stressful moments, or a keepsake representing someone you love, every piece will tell a story that's uniquely yours.
Working with clay is more than just making art. The hands-on creative process has been shown to encourage mindfulness, reduce stress, spark imagination, strengthen social connections, and provide a healthy outlet for self-expression. As each piece is shaped by hand, young artists will discover that creativity can be a powerful tool for confidence, healing, and personal growth.

Layers of Me
Every child has a story worth telling.
In this imaginative mixed-media workshop, young artists will discover how colors, patterns, and symbols can express who they are—without saying a single word. Through painting, layering, and creative exploration, each participant will design a one-of-a-kind artwork that celebrates the people, places, strengths, and dreams that make them unique.
As they create, children will reflect on questions like:
What makes me feel at home?
What are my greatest strengths?
What symbol best represents who I am?
Each layer of their artwork becomes another chapter of their story, resulting in a meaningful keepsake that reminds them their voice matters and their individuality is something to celebrate.
