SYNOPSIS:
Last year at Esoteric was a hot one… so I thought this year I would create a workshop to help combat the heat in a fun and creative workshop where you’ll get to design and decorate your very own parasol festival umbrella! We’ll provide all the materials, including vibrant paints, fabrics, embellishments, and, of course, the parasol.
Under the guidance of experienced artist Jem from Spirit Hugs Artwork, you’ll learn various decorating techniques to make your parasol truly unique and festival-ready. Unleash your creativity, meet new friends, and leave with a stunning umbrella that showcases your personal style. Let’s make your festival experience even more colorful and memorable and sun smart!
