AR WORKSHOP WATERCOLOR RECAP
I love the idea of a place where people can drop in, sign up for specialty classes and create in an inspiring setting. When AR Workshop in Patchogue asked me to teach one of my handmade watercolor workshops I said YES! Teaching in my hometown is such an honor, and it makes me so happy to bring my knowledge to the area that shaped so much of my inspiration.

Thanks to everyone who came out to create. It is always so fun seeing how my designs and paints are used by others. If you’re interested in taking a workshop with me, please check out my Hands on Learning page for updates.
Village Calligraphy Workshop Recap
Once again I had the pleasure of teaching at Village in Sayville. This time I was thrilled to share the knowledge of calligraphy with an intimate group on a Thursday evening. We had candles lit, chocolates near, and the sound of our dip pens moving across parchment. It was everything I dreamed of. Years ago I started my business teaching calligraphy through the north east. I traveled and hosted workshops all over. I taught in my own studios on Long Island, and lettered many items for weddings. The last time I taught was masks on in the pandemic, and this was such a wonderful way to get back into teaching an art form that is so near and dear to me.
I was so proud of everyone’s progress! Left handed or right handed, some experience or no experience - everyone left that evening with a better understanding of how to use the tools, and create lovely letters.
February Calligraphy Workshop at Village in Sayville, NY
I will be launching an online workshop so regardless of where you live or if you have taken a workshop in the past and want to brush up on your skills you can do so from the comfort of your home. Keep in mind, I do offer private lessons too. Reach out, I’d love to help!
Village Watercolor Workshop Recap
It takes a village! I’m thrilled to partner with Village in Sayville this wonderful general store that opened in 2024. When Ashley the owner asked me to teach here I instantly knew YES! Surrounded by beautifully curated gifts we hosted our first handmade watercolor workshop of 2025 here. I designed a custom watercolor sheet based on the store, and attendees were able to see the paint making process in person. After an intro everyone had full access to my handmade paints from earth & mineral pigments along with a variety of my designs to create their own paintings.
I can’t wait to teach more workshops like this in 2025. I have some scheduled, so make sure you’re checking the event page for upcoming options.
And don’t worry if you’re not local. I’m working on NEW online classes! Stay tuned.
