Have you been wanting to get a brush in your hands and learn watercolor? Workshops and classes are a great way to dive in. We have lots of fun and don’t take things too seriously while learning the ins and outs of the medium. Even if you’ve never painted before, I promise, I got you. Whether it’s for some time to yourself or if you want to grab a friend, come on over. I’d love to have you!

*Unless otherwise noted, all classes are held at The Studio: 1701 Colley Ave, Norfolk
