MAIKA Joy Workshop: Creating Little Gifts of Joy

MAIKA Joy Workshop: Creative Play with Watercolor + Collage

The holidays are full of lists, plans, and to-dos. But this evening is your pause.
Join us for an intimate night of watercolor, collage, and connection. You’ll make tiny gifts of joy (hand-painted notes, art cards, or tags) that celebrate creativity, reflection, and the art of giving.

No rules, No pressure. No experience needed. Just beautiful materials, a chance to slow down, and create with good humans making joyful things.

This Joy Workshop will be led by Viola, Founder of MAIKA — inspiring creativity and connection in everyday life.

What We’re Making
In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own Joy Card (a 5x7 piece of mixed-media art using watercolor, collage, and playful prompts.)

All levels welcome.
No art experience needed.
Just bring your curiosity (and maybe a favorite quote or image that brings you joy). We'll guide you step-by-step.

(Shown above: MAIKA Joy Kit: a delightful MAIKA pouch filled with a portable watercolor palette, a water brush, MAIKA swatches and watercolor paper.)

What’s Included
• All materials + a beautiful MAIKA Joy Kit to use (and take home!)
• Light bites, sparkling water, good vibes
• A creative reset that’ll stay with you long after the night ends

This is for you if you...
• think “I’m not creative” but secretly want to be
• are craving a playful pause or creative reset
• miss making things with your hands
• love MAIKA’s colorful, joy-filled designs and want a behind-the-scenes peek
• want to leave with something meaningful (and beautiful) you made yourself

P.S. This is a small, intimate event with space for just 6 people — spots will fill up quickly.

NOTE: Exact address (in Oakland, CA) will be sent upon sign-up.
