Workshops & Events & Retreats

Crafternoons and evenings
Special Craft Evening: 8/8 4 pm to 8 pm during Second Saturday
Upcoming Sundays: 8/16 and 8/30 11 am to 3 pm

Each Crafternoon there’s a craft menu to choose from. The atmosphere of these afternoons is very chill and relaxing. Note that this is unstructured time for creative play with kits or other fun things on our menu, so ages 13+ if on your own. If you have a younger child who wants to participate, an adult will need to be there to help. We're here to help, but this isn't a workshop. 

Prices on menu range from $5-$25. No need to sign up early.

Watercolor Evening
8/14
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Choose from our selection of beautiful watercolor kits, listen to some good tunes, drink some sparkly drinks, & take some time to relax and connect while you paint. Adults only. Cost: $45 includes kit + snacks + drinks. Sign up in store or online here.

Fill It Up: Art Journal Workshop
8/22 10 to 5 (and optionally add on 8/23 from 11 to 2)

If you've been in the shop and looked through Liz's journals and want to make your own, this class is for you! 

First, we'll create our own journal papers with paint, ink, and other supplies plus choose from various other papers and then bind them together into a one signature journal. Then we will begin to fill our journals through some easy, fun prompts that Liz will guide you through. Imagine pages full of images, dreams, song lyrics, poems, paint, joy, stories, and so much more. We will play with lots of different art supplies and you'll be able to look through Liz's journals for ideas too.

You can make a weekend of this workshop and add on Sunday to spend more time filling up your journal and learning a few more techniques from Liz. Ages 16+.

A writing workshop to help you put pen to paper so you can fill up the blank page. (If you're someone who would love a twice a month writing group, get in touch. I'd love to host this as an ongoing class.) 

A NOTE FROM LIZ

Let’s gather and tell our stories.

My workshops and retreats are an invitation to pay attention and be present to the world within and around us. You'll join me in my studio here at Three Bird Layne, and I'll invite you to look inward in ways that will delight your spirit and offer you a way to explore who you are and want to be in the world. We will play with words, stories, paint, paper, and so many other things. I've been teaching in-person and online for more than 15 years now, and I look forward to connecting with you here in my new space.

Each workshop I lead includes creative and mindfulness prompts and practices that help us gather evidence of daily life - from the moments of beauty to the messiness that are both part of life. Whether we are writing together, taking photo walks, creating in art journals, or sharing our stories, you will feel supported and encouraged to listen to the voice within. 

I can't wait to meet you,
Liz
