One day workshops, Adults
Wild Card Wednesdays is a weekly creative “drop‑in“ designed for artists who crave dedicated time, supportive guidance, and the freedom to explore a project that doesn’t fit neatly into a class or category. Each session runs from 6–8 pm, giving you two uninterrupted hours to dive into a “Wild Card” piece — anything you’re currently creating in watercolor, pencils, colored pencils, or pen & ink.
Bring your own supplies, settle into a relaxed studio environment, and enjoy the mix of quiet focus and friendly conversation that naturally happens when artists work side by side. Curtis will be available throughout the session to offer helpful, individualized guidance whenever you want it — whether you’re troubleshooting technique, refining composition, or just looking for a fresh set of eyes.
Wild Card Wednesdays are perfect for artists who want structure without rigidity, support without pressure, and a mid‑week creative ritual that keeps their practice moving forward.
