Columbus Creative Canvas Collective Workshop Night

We are hosting another Columbus Creative Canvas Collective workshop night, and we would love for you to join us. This is a relaxed, low-pressure space designed for anyone who wants to spend a few hours focusing on their art, whether you are picking up a paintbrush for the first time or have been working on projects for years. We provide a communal table where we can share ideas, trade tips, or just enjoy the company of other local makers while we work. The goal here is simply to carve out some dedicated time for your craft outside of the usual home distractions. There is no formal instruction or strict agenda; instead, it is an open session for you to bring whatever project you are currently working on and settle in. It is a great way to meet fellow artists in the area and find some inspiration in a quiet, supportive environment. If you have been looking for an excuse to get back into your creative routine, please sign up so we can get a sense of how many people to expect.

Columbus Unleash Your Inner Artist Today

If you have been wanting to try your hand at art but are not sure where to start, this is the perfect place to begin. Our goal for this meetup is to strip away the pressure of making a masterpiece and simply enjoy the process of creating something new. We will provide a relaxed, supportive space in Columbus where you can experiment with different materials, ask questions, and learn basic techniques at your own pace alongside others who are just starting out. This session is designed specifically for people who feel like they do not have a creative bone in their body or those who have not picked up a brush since school. You do not need any prior experience or fancy supplies to join us. Just bring an open mind and a willingness to make a bit of a mess as we explore the foundations of art together. We would love to have you join the group, so please take a moment to RSVP if you think you can make it.

Paint a Pumpkin! - Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

Let's paint some mini pumpkins while we discuss our October pick: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith Event: Please bring a bag of individually wrapped candies to share! Pumpkins and Paint will be provided. Book description: Welcome to Phantasma. There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don’t fall in love. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals. Every day the house creates new monsters. But just as Ophelia’s fears threaten to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain. Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. All he asks in return is ten years of her life. Ophelia knows she shouldn’t trust him. Blackwell doesn’t seem dangerous, but appearances can be deceptive. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer. Her life is on the line. But in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart…
