MINI WORKSHOP MARKET VENDOR: Join for watercolor painting at our Mini Workshop Market on Saturday May 16th!!

You’ll be creating 4.5” x 6” watercolor cards, based on this celebration cake style for this workshop. Each student will walk away with one hand crafted card (that they’ll make themselves!) and a packet with instructions that will include suggested supplies and where to find them.

From the artist: My watercolor style is to let go of perfection and embrace the little imperfections that come up as you go. The reason I was so drawn to watercolors in the first place is because the style itself is kind of intentionally imperfect. I’ve found that something really beautiful happens when you let go of that internal perfectionist voice and give yourself permission to be messy or “not good” at something.

📆: 5/16/26
⏰: 12-4 PM
📍:
🎟️: $5 entry + $5-$20 workshop fees -or- $120 all access pass

Join the Workbench’s 4th Annual Mini Workshop Market — a one-of-a-kind, fast-paced creative experience where you can learn, make, and connect all in one afternoon! Last year we offered a self watering seed kit workshop - this year’s workshops will be announced soon 👀

Think of it as speed dating for hobbies: you’ll move from table to table, each hosted by a local artist or maker offering a bite-sized, 20-minute workshop. Whether it’s printmaking, candle pouring, stitching, or a surprise craft you’ve never seen before—there’s something for everyone to dive into.

Workshops are just $5–$20 each, and you can take as many (or as few) as you like. We also offer an all access pass!! Each session is followed by a 10-minute break, giving you time to show off your creation, grab a drink from , and head to your next mini-class.
