Watercolor Mixed-Media Landscapes

Slow down and explore balance, texture, and the quiet beauty of coastal stones in this restorative mixed-media workshop.

Inspired by the weathered colors and patterns of Maine’s shoreline, artist Ericka O’Rourke , of Salt and Sky, will guide you in creating a collection of painted paper stones using watercolor, watercolor pencil, ink, and a restrained touch of metallic watercolor. You’ll then arrange and layer your stones into peaceful cairn compositions on subtly textured backgrounds.

No drawing or painting experience is needed. Simple stone templates, step-by-step demonstrations, and thoughtfully selected color palettes make the process approachable while leaving plenty of room for personal expression.

Participants will complete two small mixed-media cairn artworks, with time for an optional third study. All materials are provided.

Workshop details

• Beginner-friendly; no experience necessary

• Explore watercolor, watercolor pencil, ink, collage, texture, and composition

• Simple cairn and stone templates provided

• All materials included

This workshop is being taught by local artist Ericka O’Rourke. Her studio, of Salt and Sky, is in New Harbor, Maine and her work is available on her website www.saltandsky.com‍ .

An Exploration of Botanical Printing & Mixed Media

Let nature make the first mark—and see where your creativity takes you.

In this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll use gathered leaves, flowers, ferns, seed heads, and grasses to explore botanical shapes and imprints through gel plate printing and mixed media. These impressions become starting points for playful compositions, inviting you to get lost in color, line, and texture.

With guidance from artist Ericka O’Rourke of Salt and Sky, you’ll build layers with flowing watercolor washes, gouache, pencil marks, and additional printed impressions. Follow a shape, soften an edge, add an unexpected color, or let a fresh layer change the direction entirely.

The focus is on exploration rather than precise botanical illustration. There’s no prescribed result—just room to experiment, embrace imperfect marks, and discover what emerges when you let go of expectations.

Come with curiosity, and leave with a collection of botanical-inspired pieces that are uniquely yours.

• No drawing, painting, or printing experience necessary

• All materials and a selection of botanicals included

• Create a small collection of layered works on paper, suitable for framing or making into notecards

An Introduction to Meditative Watercolor

Let your creativity take flight in this calming, beginner-friendly introduction to watercolor. In Feathers & Flow, we explore watercolor as both art and mindfulness — using fluid color, breath, and intuition to paint delicate feather forms that express lightness and flow.

Through guided instruction, you’ll learn core watercolor techniques — from wet-into-wet washes to fine dry-brush details — while discovering how to paint in a way that feels grounding, playful, and free. Each feather becomes a meditation in color and movement, a reflection of your own rhythm and style.

No experience is needed — just an open mind and a willingness to let the water lead.

Take a breath, pick up your brush, and let watercolor become your moment of calm.

• No drawing or watercolor experience necessary

• All materials are included

• Participants will create two or three original feather paintings

Simone Laboa of Solo Pane Pasticceria will be in the kitchen of Slate and Moss on August 31st teaching how to make sfogliatella!

The Sfogliatella is one of Naples' most iconic pastries, with origins dating back to the 17th century at the Convent of Santa Rosa on Italy's Amalfi Coast. Originally created by nuns as a way to transform leftover semolina into a delicate pastry filled with sweet ricotta, it later evolved in Naples into the famous sfogliatella riccia we know today. Made with dozens of crisp, flaky layers and a fragrant filling of ricotta, it remains a timeless symbol of Southern Italy's pastry tradition!

It will be a very fun afternoon of pastry and charcuterie.

To learn more about Simone you can visit Solo Pane in Bath, ME or their website solo-pane.com.
