This workshop is open to everyone, whether you have experience with watercolors, or the last time you let your creative side free was art class in school.

You also have the option to paint a word, name or monogram inside your wreath — so start thinking about what you’d like do! Sizing options will be 6×6, 6×9 or 9×12. We will go over some watercolor techniques and tips, as well as some ideas on how you can display your new piece of art! Includes price of admission to the festival.
