We’re thrilled to be hosting watercolor workshops at the Moore-Lindsay House this winter, led by talented local artist Maya Raza of Maya's Artbeat!  Perfect for all skill levels from first-time painters to experienced artists, these beginner-friendly sessions will cover essential watercolor techniques such as blending, layering, and color mixing. 
  • Friday, January 23, 6–8pm
  • Saturday, January 24, 2–4pm​
Both sessions will create the same project, so choose the date that works best for you, or sign up for both classes to get extra practice!  Maya will guide you step-by-step while encouraging your individual creativity, and you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece of art you’ve created in a relaxed, supportive environment.
