About
Join us for a special evening inspired by the beauty of spring in bloom. Create your own cherry blossom scene, set against a peaceful mountain backdrop. With guidance from our professional teaching artist, Mimi Doyo, will guide you step by step as you create a stunning piece to take home. Whether you’re planning a date night or gathering with friends, it’s the perfect way to slow down and create.
No experience? No problem! We welcome all skill levels. This class is about having fun and making memories, rather than producing a “perfect” painting. We encourage you to paint in a way that feels good for you!
This event is 21+
