Creativebug artist Lorene Edwards Forkner is known for her work using swatches of watercolor to capture colors found in flowers and other bits gathered from nature. Her book Color In and Out of The Garden explores the practice and process as a way to slow down and savor the season — a mindful exercise in paying attention, holding memory, and seeing the world with fresh eyes. In this live event, Lorene shares her playbook for staying creative as we get older and the benefits of spending time with color.

Join us as Melanie Falick offers a thoughtful conversation about why we’re drawn to handwork in this modern age. Where do those impulses come from? What do they give us—beyond the finished object? And how can the skills, values, and perspectives we carry as makers support our own well-being, strengthen our communities, and gently ripple out into the wider world? Come as you are, with your curiosity, your questions, and your hands ready—to make stitches as well as love, connection, peace, and time.
