As we're nearing the end of spooky season™ we need to show you these limited edition Dorian Gray Rollerball Pens! 💀

Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s haunting classic "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the barrel features Dorian in both his "unblemished youth and moral decay" with graphic gloss black print layered over the light blue-gray glow-in-the-dark background! We have only 2 left, so grab one before they're gone!

Starts NEXT TUESDAY! 😍
Join fabulous instructor for a new session of her popular Meditative Watercolor class: Building Patience, Calm, Creativity and Color Intuition.

This class works as a gentle invitation into the world of watercolor for those new to the medium, an excellent way for experienced watercolorists to hit the reset button and return to “beginner’s mind,” or a continuation for anyone who didn’t want "Meditative Watercolor" to end. With new short guided meditative skill-builders, this class helps you build both a positive mindset and painting skills.
Note: It is not necessary to take Meditative Watercolor 1 before this class.

Meets 3 Tuesdays, November 3-17 from 1:30-4pm
