APHD Belonging & Solidarity Social Series
Stories in Watercolour: Multicultural Memories Postcard Painting
A space to connect, reflect, and create together!
Join us for a cozy afternoon of creativity, reflection, and connection.
In this guided watercolour workshop, you’ll turn a meaningful holiday memory, big or small, into a hand-painted postcard to keep, display, or gift to someone special.
It’s a relaxed, step-by-step session, no drawing experience needed. All supplies will be provided, and participants can create one or more postcards at their own pace, choosing from different sizes to make a truly one-of-a-kind holiday keepsake.
Open to all APHD students, faculty, and staff.
