SUMMARY:Loose Watercolor Floral Postcards Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Artist Rachel Brown at the NC Arts Incubator for a Loose Watercolor Floral Postcards Workshop on Sat\, May 9\, 4pm-6pm. During this relaxed\, creative class\, you’ll “let go” and explore the unique\, spontaneous nature of watercolor.

All skill levels are welcome. Beginners will enjoy learning a new medium in a supportive environment\, while those with experience can deepen their practice\, try new approaches\, and connect with fellow artists. Supplies are provided\, but you’re welcome to bring your favorite materials if you have them. \nThis class is $35 per person and takes place indoors. Free street parking is available nearby.

Guest artists will share about their Artful Life\, with a chance to reflect on your own journey after hearing their story. On Friday\, the camp day is extended for a Burrito Bash potluck. \nLouise Omoto Kessel will be your guide for this week\, along with an excellent selection of guest artists.
