AuSable Artisan Village

Thursday, April 3    6:30-8:30 

Join Amber for a mindful art experience designed to help you slow down, connect with yourself, and express freely.  Beginning with gentle mindfulness and journaling, setting intentions and connecting with ourselves. Then, moving on to exploring the painting technique.

No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to create freely. All skill levels are welcome and supplies are provided. This process invites you to listen within, embrace fluidity, and release expectations.

You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork and a deeper connection to your creative self. Get zen, paint your feelings and leave with a handmade reminder of your inner calm.
