Important Update: Tonight’s Gyotaku at Four Saints Brewing

Out of an abundance of caution, we are canceling tonight’s Gyotaku workshop at Four Saints Brewing.

While we love sharing the magic of Gyotaku, we do not want to share germs. Our instructor is under the weather, and we believe the responsible choice is to stay home rather than risk anyone else getting sick.

If you purchased a ticket, please keep an eye on your email—a full refund will be processed automatically.

That said, Four Saints Brewing is still open and as awesome as ever. If you’re able, we absolutely encourage you to still enjoy a night out, grab a drink, and support this fantastic local brewery.

Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support. We look forward to creating art together very soon—under healthier circumstances.

Life gets busy. We forget to play. We forget to create. And we forget to slow down long enough to notice nature’s beauty — even when it’s right in front of us.

That’s why these adult field trips exist. They help us reconnect with curiosity, creativity, and each other, all while learning something new about the natural world. 🌿💛🐠

Explore all December Gyotaku dates in the Linktree and join us for a little tropical joy.

Tropical fish aren’t just colorful — they’re vital to coral reef ecosystems. Many act as cleaners, algae grazers, and biodiversity boosters. 🌊🐟

During our Gyotaku: Tropical Edition adult field trips, we’ll talk about how artwork can spark environmental awareness and why even small conversations lead to big appreciation for our blue planet.

Check out all December dates in the Linktree and come create with purpose.

Why do we teach Gyotaku during the winter months?
Because creativity is a powerful tool for mental health — and the more we slow down to observe nature’s details, the more grounded we feel. 🧠🌿

Gyotaku blends art + science beautifully: texture, pattern recognition, species study, and history all rolled into one hands-on experience. With our tropical edition, the colors alone are enough to warm up your day!
