# Event Details - **Event Name**: Watercolor String Painting: A Gentle Creative Practice - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: Step into a soothing watercolor practice that invites relaxation, play and creative flow.About this EventThis is a calming, playful art experience designed to help you slow down, release stress, and reconnect with your creativity—no art experience needed.Using simple materials like string, watercolor, and ink, you’ll explore a soothing process that creates organic, one-of-a-kind images. Each piece unfolds naturally, with no pressure to “do it right.” Like snowflakes, every painting is different.We’ll begin with a brief demonstration, followed by a short centering meditation to help you arrive and settle. From there, we’ll move into quiet art-making, followed by a little bit of writing. We’ll close by witnessing and sharing our work together, if you’d like.Please wear comfortable clothing and bring an apron if you have one—India ink is permanent, so protecting your clothes is recommended but not required. You’re also welcome to bring an art journal or notebook if you’d like to write or reflect during the process.Come as you are. This is a space to rest, explore, and let your nervous system soften through creativity.About the teacher:Cat Thomas, MAT is an Artist & Expressive Arts Facilitator based out of Chattanooga, TN.15 years ago, Cat intuitively began using art and writing as a therapeutic tool in her personal life. Once she experienced the true potential art has to heal the mind, body & spirit, Cat enrolled in the Expressive Arts Florida Institute in Sarasota, FL. After taking a weekend long intensive there, she knew her purpose was not only to create her own art, but to increase individual and community health & wellness by using the arts as a tool for healing, personal growth & self-discovery.Since finishing her training in 2015, Cat has worked with 1000’s of people helping them connect with their creative selves so they may gain the therapeutic benefits of doing something creative. From working as an Artist in Residence at cancer center for close to 10 years to partnering with a local community to create a collaborative neighborhood street mural, Cat enjoys working with a variety of populations, and truly believes that when given the opportunity to create in a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space people can transform their lives from the inside out.For details about our refund and class cancellation policy, visit . - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chattanooga/watercolor-string-painting-a-gentle-creative-practice/100001993485778627 - **Event Categories**: art, health-wellness, fine-arts, workshops, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Chattery - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 30.65, max: 30.65, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chattanooga - **state**: TN - **country**: United States - **location**: The Chattery - **lat**: 35.0321934 - **long**: -85.30325760000001 - **full address**: The Chattery, 1800 Rossville Avenue, Chattanooga, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Watercolor String Painting: A Gentle Creative Practice - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/7409adc8c7551b7a15d16357340755e47342854d54994fabd78e9212b40687c1-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1783501624 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Watercolor String Painting: A Gentle Creative Practice being held? - **A:** Watercolor String Painting: A Gentle Creative Practice takes place on Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm at The Chattery, 1800 Rossville Avenue, Chattanooga, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Watercolor String Painting: A Gentle Creative Practice? - **A:** Watercolor String Painting: A Gentle Creative Practice is organized by The Chattery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
