​​✂️💌 Make something they’ll actually keep.

Skip the store-bought card this Valentine’s Day and create one that tells a story. Join featured exhibiting artist Erin Lockamy (@earuyne_aurt) for a Collage Card making Workshop—a relaxed, hands-on hour of cutting, layering, and discovering how powerful simple materials can be.

🗓 Saturday, 1/17 | 2–3p
🎟 $20 online tinyurl.com/fcac-card | $25 at the door (tips encouraged)
👥 Only 15 seats available
🎨 All supplies provided (if you’d like, make it even more meaningful by bringing personal photos or your own supplies)

You’ll learn the basics of collage, from finding strong compositions to how collaging can be applied to other creative practices—while working at your own pace. Expect to leave with at least one handmade Valentine-inspired artwork, and maybe two, ready to gift (or keep 👀).

Low-pressure. High-satisfaction. Made with heart.
