Relax, unwind, and experience the healing power of Japanese Pastel Nagomi Art while crafting unique Christmas cards. No experience needed!

Join us for a peaceful, mindful workshop combining mindfulness with Pastel Nagomi Art—a healing art form from Japan, designed to bring calmness, hope, and harmony (Nagomi).

This workshop is designed so that everyone—regardless of age or experience—can create beautiful artwork.
