Happy Hands Pottery And Art Studio

Join artist and poet Angelica Candido for an evening of creative exploration through mixed media art and poetry. In this guided workshop, we’ll get hands-on with collage, watercolor, ink, and thoughtful writing prompts that invite you to explore your personal and cultural roots—all in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment.We’ll begin by selecting words and images that speak to your identity, then layer them with expressive watercolor techniques to create a meaningful collage. Through guided writing exercises, you’ll reflect on themes of heritage, memory, growth, and transformation, weaving your visual and written work into a personal journal page.This is a welcoming, accessible space for all levels (ages 16+), where art becomes a bridge between storytelling and shared experience. No prior art or writing experience is needed—just curiosity and openness. All materials are provided.We’ll conclude with a friendly show-and-tell for those who wish to share their work, which may be featured in our community zine. This workshop is part of a series leading up to “What We Carry” (Oct 10)—a community open mic, zine, and art showcase featuring local performers.About the SeriesAs part of Culture Days 2025, Happy Hands Pottery &amp; Art Studio and Angelica Candido present a four-part creative series blending visual art, poetry, and community.<ul><li>Roots and Reflections – Sept 25: Visual journaling workshop exploring personal and cultural roots.</li><li>Portraits of Place – Oct 2: Mixed media and poetry workshop on identity and place.</li><li>Creative Drop-In – Oct 7: Share works-in-progress, exchange feedback, and connect.</li><li>What We Carry – Oct 10: Community open mic, zine launch, and art showcase.</li></ul>About Angelica CandidoAngelica is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, and community arts facilitator whose work explores dreams, healing, and heritage.
