mess around & chill

~ a low-pressure creative reset!

A relaxed, welcoming art experience where you can experiment, unwind, and create something you’re proud to hang.

📅 The next class is Saturday, March 14, at 12 noon at Bandana Brewing Co. in McCleary.
$40 per person.
*Saturday’s class will start an hour before Bandana opens. Drinks and appetizers will be available during the class, and the full menu will be available once the brewery opens at 1:00.

If you’re looking for a perfect, paint-by-numbers picture to hang in your office… this probably isn’t for you.

This class is for you if:

• You want to experiment with acrylics and mixed media

• You’re craving a creative reset

• You want to release stress and unplug for a couple of hours

• You don’t consider yourself “an artist” — but you’re curious

• You’d love a welcoming space to create and share some laughs

Worried it might feel awkward? It won’t.

People tell me they’re nervous about trying something new or coming solo to something like this. Here’s what one student had to say:

“I’m usually wary of joining new things, but this class never felt intimidating. If the conversation doesn’t flow, you can just put your head down and create - no awkwardness.

I often lose track of time here, which is perfect. It’s less a rigid ‘class’ and more independent work with supportive mentorship. Lisa is incredibly positive and offers helpful suggestions without being too critical — a difficult skill! It’s been such a great reason to get out of the house and create.”

You’ll have everything you need - and then some.

Here’s what another student recently said:

“I loved this class and can’t wait to take another one!

I was surprised by the variety of tools available. I got to experiment with materials I’d never tried before. Lisa is thoughtful and inspiring, and by the end of class I was ready to hang our artwork!”
