Ready to cultivate a heart of thankfulness this autumn?
Join us for a special hands-on art therapy workshop where we’ll transform simple sheets of paper into beautiful, lasting chrysanthemums—each one carrying your personal reflections of gratitude and autumn blessings within each petal.
Mums are the classic symbol of autumn, representing joy, longevity, and abundance. In this cozy seasonal gathering, crafting paper mums serves as a meaningful metaphor for cultivating and celebrating the warmth of thankfulness in our lives.
In this unique creative experience, participants will begin by responding to a series of thoughtful prompts designed to help you tune into your own experience of appreciation and gratitude. You’ll write and paint your reflections directly onto the paper before shaping each rich, textured petal. As the paper is transformed into vibrant autumn blooms, your expressions of gratitude become part of the artwork itself, held within each flower as a lasting celebration of the season's abundance.
Facilitated by art therapist Angela Modzelewski, LPCA, ATR, this workshop blends creativity with gentle moments of mindfulness. Angela will guide you step-by-step through the paper mum-making process while creating a warm, welcoming space where your creativity can flow freely and your spirit can lift.
You don’t need to consider yourself “artistic” to enjoy this experience. The beauty of paper crafting is that these flowers unfold naturally through the process, and everyone leaves with something uniquely their own!
By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a small bouquet of handcrafted paper mums to serve as a permanent reminder to pause and appreciate the little blessings in your day-to-day life.
All materials will be provided.
Come solo for a restorative creative experience, or bring a friend or family member and share an intentional evening of inspiration, connection, and appreciation.
In this workshop you will:
Reflect on moments of thankfulness and learn ways to cultivate gratitude in your daily life
Write and paint your personal expressions of gratitude and autumn blessings directly onto your paper before crafting
Learn simple, elegant techniques to shape and craft paper chrysanthemums
Leave with a handcrafted bouquet of paper mums that serves as a visual anchor for warmth, thankfulness, and reflection
