About this Event

This Mother's Day, we wanted to paint something that captures the love and devotion of a mother. So naturally, we chose otters! Did you know that otter moms hold their pups close to their chest for the first six months of their lives, and otter families float side by side, holding hands so they never drift apart? It's one of nature's most tender bonds, and it reminds us of the amazing moms in our lives.

In this workshop, you’ll paint an adorable otter scene. Our instructors will guide you through each step, so all you have to do is paint and relax. You can choose to paint mom with her pup(s) or a whole family of otters. Whichever you choose, there’s always creative freedom in the artistic choices you make. Celebrating everyone's uniqueness is a core value of LOLART.
