A Slow, Joyful Return to Creativity + Community

Spark Imagination.
Fuel Collaboration.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down and catch your breath while tending to your own needs.

Many women who walk into these workshops have the same belief “I’m not an artist.” But I’m here to prove you wrong. You were born an artist and somewhere along the road someone talked you out of that truth. It could have been a teacher, a parent, or even yourself, but you knew as a child that you were an artist and it’s time to remember that part of you. 

These workshops are more than just putting brush to paper or making something pretty (although we do all that) by picking up a paintbrush you will tend to your parasympathetic nervous system, your mental health, and lower your cortisol levels and blood pressure. 

Art is medicine, I believe that to my core. The creative spark workshop is an invitation to witness this first hand. Let me be your guide

For the bookclubs who don't always read the book or just want to make it a special occasion. The Creative Spark Workshop could paint a scene based on the book you read or coincide with a book that talks about art. Suggested book reads to go with this workshop:

From your core team to the business at large, corporate workshops bring in the innovation, problem solving skills, and of course bonding experience. Everyone comes in with fear about doing art but they leave having a lived experience together. These workshops are made for creativity and community!

What People Are Saying

Embrace imperfection and try something new & fun for yourself! I had the pleasure of attending a painting workshop with Katie & Modern Magic and I'm so glad I did. Katie is super supportive, smart in her craft and kind in her approach and ideas. I had no idea what to expect, went in with an open mind and had a blast. I thought I couldn't create art until this workshop and am grateful for writing a new story!

Creativity + Connection

Bring your village together to spark imagination, reconnect with creative energy, and foster meaningful collaboration. This 2-hour Creative Spark Painting Workshop provides a hands-on, playful environment where you can release stress and perfectionism while exploring your own creative expression.

Beyond the fun of painting, the workshop helps communities tap into their collective creative fire, and strengthen collaboration in their community. You will leave energized, inspired, and connected — with new more creative tools to practice outside of this workshop either in community or on your own. 

Bring EveryonE Together

A 2-hour hands-on workshop designed to spark imagination, release stress, and foster connection among groups of friends or team members. Participants explore their creativity in a playful, collaborative environment.

Any team or private group (Especially those made up of women) looking to strengthen collaboration, inspire, innovate, and bring creative energy into their work and life. No artistic experience is needed.
Groups leave energized, inspired, and more connected. They gain practical tools to release perfectionism, ignite creativity, and bring fresh ideas to both work and life.

2–30 participants per workshop. The cost of the workshop is based on the number of people after 6. 

Gouache paints are a water based paint, which means the wash out of clothes. So wear anything that’s comfortable and makes you feel confident!

Workshops in the greenhouse: Be sure to wear layers as the temperature can change. Also bug spray in summer and fall months is never a bad idea!

Private workshops start at $500 for up to 6 participants at your home or space. For larger groups or with an included venue, please reach out for a quote.

3 hours total to allow for setup, workshop time, and take-down.
