Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience? Artistic talent?

None! Everyone is welcome, whether you haven't picked up a pencil since high school or you're a seasoned artist. My workshops are designed to be welcoming and fun for all skill levels.

What do I need to bring to the workshop?

Nothing! All the supplies are provided. But definitely think about what clothes you don't mind getting a little messy. Even with an apron paint tends to go where it wants.

More About Melanie

I'm Melanie! I've been an artist, creator, and educator since I was a little kid.

I believe that the art of creating is an act of love towards ourselves and our community, especially in a world where we so often see things being torn down rather than built up. Teaching lets me share that joy with others while helping to build confidence and friendship.
