Description

Join artist Ricco DeStefano for Storm Stories, a one-of-a-kind workshop where storytelling and painting unfold together. As Rico shares a vivid narrative, participants follow along step by step, watching as the artwork emerges in tandem with the story. Each brushstroke builds on the tale, revealing the image piece by piece until the full picture comes to life

By the end, the tale and the painting stand together, fully revealed—an echo of how stories and storms both leave their mark. Blending imagination, artistry, and performance, Storm Stories invites you to experience the powerful connection between narrative and art in a way as dynamic and unpredictable as the weather itself.

Who It’s For:
Creative explorers of all levels who want to deepen both their storytelling and artistic practices, and visitors seeking an entertaining experience! No prior art experience required—just a willingness to experiment and share your voice.

Takeaway:
Each participant leaves with a finished, highly personal artwork and a renewed understanding of how story and image can work together to express powerful themes.

What to Expect:
Step by step instruction, entertaining stories, a relaxed, supportive, fun atmosphere, a take-home, highly personalized artwork

Complimentary coffee for the brushstrokes and Puffin wine for the applause!
