Join us every month for a new Create + Sip experience! Our afternoons of wine and fun offer more than just painting. Each event is taught by one of Workhouse's talented studio artists, so we play with lots of techniques. You'll have a great time creating (and sipping), resulting in a unique piece of art made by you.

Create a beautiful "bloom" collage that won't wilt or fade! Workhouse artist Karen Chin will guide your initial work, using cut paper, stamping, markers, and paint to structure the collage. The finishing work will be your choice, resulting in a unique piece of artwork made by you. Temporary matting will be available for you to use.

Skill level: Ages 10 and up

A glass of wine (or other beverage) is included. A cash bar will be available for additional beer, wine, soda or water.

Event info: June 8, 2019, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Workhouse Arts Center, Building W16, in the cafe (first floor, across from gift shop). Free parking. A total of 12 spaces are available.
