(08/21/26) AUGUST WOMEN’S WORKSHOP • NEUROGRAPHIC SUMMER SUNFLOWER

This month, we will head into the studio for a guided activity in which we’ll create a neurographic watercolor, an intuitive form of art that involves mindfulness & intentionality. Instruction will be centered around a sunflower, but you can absolutely feel free to go your own way with this one. You will use Sharpies & watercolors and have the option to add colored pencils as well as light collage to create an original piece of art.

The goal of this session is NOT to create a masterpiece. The goal is to enjoy the process & to learn something about yourself. Everything you need for this project will be provided.

WHEN: Friday, August 21, 2026 from 7-9 PM

WHERE: In my studio at 78 New Tudor Road, Pittsford, NY

COST: Space is limited to the first 10 women to RSVP!

Light snacks will be provided.

Come craft & connect with some new Sisters.

When Writers Meltdown

FULL YEAR of WOMEN’S ART WORKSHOPS 2026 (12 CLASSES)

• Monthly Women’s Art Circle • 12 Different Workshops •

Join a welcoming community of women for a monthly art experience designed to inspire creativity, connection, and self-discovery. Each month, we’ll explore a different artistic medium — from watercolor & wax relief to acrylics, drawing, mosaic, fabric, wood, and floral arts.

Guided by two local artists, Renée Schuls-Jacobson & Stephanie Rober Sheedy, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment, play, and learn in a supportive and uplifting environment. No experience is necessary — just a willingness to play, experiment & see what unfolds.

Together, we’ll:
• Try new techniques and mediums
• Share stories and laughter with like-minded women
• Reflect, recharge, and reconnect with our creative selves

Each session is a blend of artistic exploration and gentle self-expression — a space where women can slow down, make something beautiful, and celebrate the joy of creating.

✨ Come as you are, leave inspired.

When you commit to joining us for all 12 Friday night workshops, you will enjoy the best savings! It’s like getting 3 classes for FREE!
