Tita Nina’s Community Care – JAYU Festival of the Arts

Join Tita Nina’s Community Care for a relaxing, meditative pattern-making workshop where we’ll be stamping designs on your favorite clothing or tote bags using natural objects and acrylic paint 🍂🎨

In this session, we’ll explore the beauty in everyday items we often overlook—like a rock on the ground, a fallen leaf, or a broken twig. We’ll transform these found objects into unique stamps to create patterns on fabric pieces you bring, whether it’s a shirt, tote bag, apron, or blanket. Feel free to bring something you already own to personalize! We’ll be providing the paint, nature-inspired stamps, and a t-shirt or tote bag! 🌿
