Getting into art is a fun and fulfilling hobby—especially if you’re full of ideas you’re itching to bring to life. But if traditional art classes sound a little too intense or structured for your vibe, we’ve got something different for you.

We get it: art classes can feel intimidating. The idea of sharing your work with strangers and being critiqued might be enough to keep you from signing up in the first place. And while putting yourself out there is brave (cheers to you if you do!), sometimes a little liquid courage can help ease those nerves.

Learning how to paint or draw can be rewarding—but let’s be honest, after a long day of work, juggling your kids’ school schedules and extracurriculars, sitting down to learn the fundamentals of color theory or brush technique might not be the kind of "relaxation" you're looking for.

That’s where Mindless Art comes in.

This isn’t your typical art class. It’s a low-pressure, chill experience where you can experiment with materials, play with techniques, and just… zone out. It’s not about perfecting a skill or creating a masterpiece. It’s about enjoying the process and giving your brain a break in community with others.

Yes, mindfulness—doing things with intention and focus—is great. But sometimes, letting yourself get lost in a mindless activity is just as valuable.

Come paint, play, and unwind. No rules. No pressure. Just art.

Your price includes a glass of complimentary wine from William Grassie Wine Estates.

PAINT YOUR PET - Ornament Style
Cost: $60

This is a 2.5 hour class and NO prior art skills are needed. I work with you to help you create an artistic representation of your beloved pet, or any animal you love. Choose between a wooden piece or ceramic bulb!

After you register for the event you will need to send me a photo of your pet, or the animal you want to paint, one pet per class please. You can send it as an attachment to Ashley.worksfromtheheart@gmail.com.

The photo that you decide to use needs to be in focus, or as clear as you can get it, with good lighting. It is best if it is a close up of your pet, please crop it if needed to make sure that your pet, or animal, is the key subject of your painting.

RESERVATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL because I need to collect the images and sketch them prior to the painting day.

—-

When we all meet to paint, you will be ready to go with your pet or animal image.

Once you arrive, I will work with you to help you select paint colors for your portrait. I will also provide some general instructions about painting with the paints, how to mix colors, how to use the different brushes, etc. I will also provide specific art instruction and guidance for your specific portrait.

The cost of the class includes all materials as needed to complete your painting.

Because I need to pre-sketch your portrait, and I have limited spaces available, there will be no refunds for no shows.
