Creative Haverhill is planning a Galentine’s Art Bash early next month, featuring a trio of 15-minute mini workshops led by local artists.
Called “Will You Be Our Galentine?” guests will take part in hands-on artmaking with time to sip, shop and socialize in advance of Valentine’s Day.
Workshops include “Watercolor with Pixie Yates,” where participants will paint a mini flower heart and rose scalloped-edge garland; “Papermaking with Mindy Paper,” highlighting the basics of hand papermaking while transforming paper pulp into a folded heart-shaped card, finished with a wax seal; and “Fairy Crafts with Farm to Fable” with Katie from Farm to Fable Illustrations guiding guests in creating a Fairy Home Plant Pal using wine corks, acorn caps and crafting moss.
Activities are aimed toward those ages 15 and up.
Good & Golden Books will also debut The Bookshelf, a new, curated and rotating book display starting with romance favorites and Blind Date with a Book offerings available for purchase.
Galentine’s Art Bash takes place Sunday, Feb. 8, from noon to 3 p.m., at Creative Haverhill’s downtown community art space, 43 Washington St. Tickets, sold in one-hour blocks, are $65 per person, includes refreshments and may be reserved online here.
