Artable Events
What is Artable?
Artable events are in-home art experiences that make a difference! Each event is designed to offer participants an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone with projects designed to stretch you, make you think, and result in something expressive and beautiful to put in your home or share with others. Try new techniques, express your inner artist, step outside the box and make a difference for others in need of hope. Classes are taught by artist, Leslie Mears.
- Invite a few friends over to your house for creativity and connection.
- You provide the space, snacks and drinks, we provide the fun!
- At each three-hour event, we will complete a unique and expressive project from start to finish.
- The host can choose from the set projects listed below.
- The guests go home with a beautiful piece of artwork, and have the option to purchase greeting cards created with their artwork to share hope, encouragement or a few words of connection with others.
- Each event has a give-back component. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Snowdrop Studio’s charity of the month, or to the charity of the your choice.
- Each host will be provided with a set of three free greeting cards made from their art images to enjoy and to share with others. Guests have the option to have cards made to purchase.

Get Comfy
Who doesn’t love a new throw pillow? In this class, we will use acrylic paint and your own limited color palette to create art on a 16 x 16 pillow cover. Choose an inspiration from your home or from nature (leaves, shells, water...) and we will create a geometric pattern with options of layering, abstracting, simplifying and experimenting to put together a design that is unique to you! We will discuss color, pattern, texture, and balance and will complete the project in one evening. Artable art classes are designed to bring out your inner artist!
Zoom In
In this class we will create small canvases with acrylic paint. We will learn about different mediums and techniques, and in particular, cropping or “zooming in” on a subject to simplify, create interesting compositions, and focus on shapes, texture, and line. Choose your subject matter -flowers, leaves, fruit, feathers, etc. Using a viewfinder, we will consider color, balance, composition and pattern. Our version of a Georgia O’Keefe! Artable art classes are designed to bring out your inner artist!
Go With the Flow
A.K.A - Watercolor 101! First we will explore all the basics of watercolor. We will learn about paints, colors, techniques, helpful materials, mediums and how to apply paint in different ways. We will complete a series of practice works using varying techniques. Your final product will be an abstracted landscape or seascape painting using your own personal style, to take home. Artable art classes are designed to bring out your inner artist!
