About this Event


MAIKA Joy Workshop: Creative Play with Watercolor + Collage

The holidays are full of lists, plans, and to-dos. But this evening is your pause.
Join us for an intimate night of watercolor, collage, and connection. You’ll make tiny gifts of joy (hand-painted notes, art cards, or tags) that celebrate creativity, reflection, and the art of giving.

No rules, No pressure. No experience needed. Just beautiful materials, a chance to slow down, and create with good humans making joyful things.

This Joy Workshop will be led by Viola, Founder of MAIKA — inspiring creativity and connection in everyday life.

What We’re Making
In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own Joy Card (a 5x7 piece of mixed-media art using watercolor, collage, and playful prompts.)

All levels welcome.
No art experience needed.
Just bring your curiosity (and maybe a favorite quote or image that brings you joy). We'll guide you step-by-step.

• A creative reset that’ll stay with you long after the night ends
