Couldn't load pickup availability
Saturday, September 28, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT
Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of watercolor painting in this workshop inspired by the renowned textile designer Susie Zuzek. Known for her bold and colorful patterns for Lily Pulitzer, Zuzek’s designs are a celebration of playful motifs and lively palettes. In this class, you'll explore techniques used to create rich, textured watercolor paintings that echo Zuzek’s signature style. Learn how to blend colors, layer textures, and capture the essence of her tropical and whimsical patterns. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists, this workshop will provide you with the tools to create your own unique, Zuzek-inspired watercolor patterns. Having been a textile designer myself for many years I’m excited to celebrate the unsung artists behind the clothes we wear!
