Event Details

Join us for a special evening of art, reflection, and community with watercolor artist Anna Chen. Watercolors & Waterworks is part hands-on creative workshop, part casual book club—centered around Michelle Zauner’s powerful memoir “Crying in H Mart.”

We’ll start by learning traditional watercolor techniques (no experience needed!) and layering in collage elements to create your own expressive mixed media piece. Along the way, we’ll explore gentle prompts and conversations inspired by the themes of identity, loss, food, and heritage found in Crying in H Mart.

No experience necessary
