Expressions of Light: Mixed Media Affirmation Card Deck Workshop

Join local illustrator Lori Vafiades for 'Expressions of Light", a lighthearted, hands-on workshop designed for beginners and those seeking creative expression. Over the course of three hours, you’ll create your own unique deck of 30 affirmation cards using watercolor, ink, and other mixed media techniques. No prior art experience is necessary! Choose from a selection of pre-printed sayings or craft your own personal affirmations as you explore fun techniques like watercolor, resist tools, ink stamping, and whimsical drawing.

These affirmation cards are not only beautiful but also serve as powerful tools for teachers, therapists, and healers—perfect for encouraging personal growth and mindfulness in various professional settings. Whether used for yourself, with clients, or as thoughtful gifts, these cards are versatile and meaningful. Plus, the techniques you’ll learn—especially watercolor—can be used again and again to create more personalized decks in the future.

This workshop offers a peaceful, creative atmosphere—ideal for anyone looking to reconnect with their true identity, practice mindfulness, or simply enjoy a relaxing, artistic escape. Whether you’re seeking something lighthearted or a deeper spiritual experience, you’ll find a welcoming space to express yourself. Warm beverages from our coffee bar and all the supplies you’ll need are included, and your finished deck will be stored in an elegant organza bag.

Come create, reflect, and leave with a deck full of affirmations to keep or share! Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today.

We are a recovery community and a substance-free campus.

The studio is located in the lower level of the Sanctuary Church and is not wheelchair accessible. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
