Pick your choice of beach hat or cowboy hat to embellish with beads, shells, and charms for your one of a kind summer hat. Let us know when you order which style you prefer.
Grab some yummy Greek food, a beverage, and get creative with some fellow crafters!
Andrea Danner is proprietor of The Mindful Mermaid studio on Colonial Avenue It is in the building across from Lenny's where people used to go to pay their cable bills.
Yoga, Pilates, Arts, Crafts and more for kids and adults take place here. A soft opening took place around mid-December of 2024.
Initial classes will be more gentle yoga, meditation, somatic, and restorative. Then later they plan on incorporating Hatha and Vinyasa.
Andrea is an art teacher and was named Colonial Beach Elementary School Teacher of the Year in May of 2024.
Just inside the front door is a delightful shopping area.
Towards the back of the building there is a space for yoga and pilates exercise classes and it serves as an overflow classroom area for arts and crafts workshops.
In the back corner of the building there's a small classroom space with tables and shelves of all the supplies and art created in prior classes.
I recently participated in a Gelli print art workshop where you plop some paint onto a rubberized/jelly mat and then roll it out with a Brayer. It is best to start with a dark color for the background and then add lighter shades. You can use materials like stencils, bubble wrap, tissue paper to create texture and depth. Next, a piece of white paper is pressed onto the painted mat and carefully peeled off to reveal the design.
The sky's the limit and there are so many works of art you can accomplish with this method.
Here's one of the prints I created at this class.
The course schedule is posted right outside their front door and we list them on our Events page as well. Sometimes they are held at an offsite location, such as Colonial Beach Brewing.
Come and enjoy a workshop or class!
