New Workshops & Walks!

January 31, 2022 – 7:49 pm

Curious about how I create my watercolor sculptures? Then sign up for Watercolors in 3D: Layered Nature Scenes on March 19 at Cheekwood, and learn how to make your own! We’ll meet from 1-4pm, and all supplies are included. This is the first time I’ve offered this workshop, so reserve your spot soon before it sells out! You can find more information here: https://cheekwood.org/learn/adult/

Nature can also be your inspiration for abstract painting, and you can explore the possibilities by joining us for Natural Abstractions on February 19 at the Franklin Recreation Center! You’ll find all the details here: https://apm.activecommunities.com/wcpr/Activity_Search/natural-abstractions/17084

Spending time surrounded by nature can reduce stress and promote well being, as you can discover for yourself by joining us for a relaxing Forest Bathing Walk at Beaman Park! The next walk is February 26 from 1-2:30pm, and your $12 payment includes a donation to the park. To register, call 615-862-8580 or email beamanpark@nashville.gov
