Let your flowers get a little wild!
Forget perfect petals and realistic bouquets—this workshop is all about color, movement, imagination, and FUN! Create a playful, expressive floral artwork filled with lively shapes, unexpected colors, loose marks, and plenty of personality.
Explore simple techniques for layering color, creating whimsical floral forms, and adding expressive details that bring your composition to life. Bold and funky, soft and dreamy, or wonderfully wonky—there’s no “right” way to make your garden grow!
No experience? No problem! This workshop is designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced artists looking to loosen up, experiment, and have some creative fun.
November workshop is FULL but join us in December and grow your own whimsical garden, one colorful creation at a time!

Hands Create is going International!

All Inclusive Art Retreat to Italy
Instructors: Joann McDaniel & Tim Kitts
This summer, July 16–23, 2027, Hands Create is going international!
We will be teaching a week-long ‘ all-inclusive’ art retreat in the Le Marche region of Italy at a beautiful boutique hotel called Hotel Leone. The retreat is titled ‘Hidden Canvas’ Art Retreat, and it’s an all inclusive experience (excluding airfare) with planned excursions to tour the region of Marche.
View the Hotel Leone Website: https://hotelleonemarche.com/en/

This is the perfect trip for anyone who wants to experience authentic Italy without the crowds—enjoying amazing food, fabulous local wine tours, and the slower pace of Italian life. We’ll travel on four guided excursions to charming local villages and the seaside, while also creating meaningful artwork in an elegant hotel and studio overlooking the stunning Sibillini mountain range. This is a beginner to novice art experience that Tim & I will be guiding participants every step of the way.
