Sprig + Stone
Your best ideas still come in the shower or while on a walk. That's not an accident. It's the only place your brain gets a break.You don't need to be artistic. Once a month you'll get something to read, something to try, and something to sit with.
You could keep going. But should you?
A NOTE FROM KATE Hi! I don’t know about you, but my September was fuuu-uullll. From kids’ activities, themed school days and picture day, sports nights, birthday parties, to a weekend away celebrating our anniversary, I was really feeling “go-go-go”. It was a challenge to find my pause, and at times I just had to give myself grace. And this was only September… The full holiday season isn’t even upon us yet (well, maybe at the stores as they seem to skip holidays). Taking a moment to pause and...
Bonus Edition: Three ways to pause this October
A NOTE FROM KATE Hi! I don't usually use this space to push events since that's what the socials are for. But October got a little full (in the best way, of course!) with registration deadlines coming up fast on a couple of these.

The Book None of Us Finished
A NOTE FROM KATE Hi! Well, I'm up before the sun now. At the time of writing this, the mornings were cooling down, but then we had a heat wave at the end of August into September. And well, I nearly scrapped this month’s theme. But even so, the mornings were still cooler before the heat settled in. And there was still a quietness to them before the light broke through, the kind you can only feel this time of year regardless of the random heat. It hasn't stopped our garden from shifting...
What A Workshop Feels Like
A NOTE FROM KATE Hi! I often get asked what a workshop looks like. The short answer: it's not a 101 watercolor lesson, and it's not paint-by-numbers either. What I offer instead is a guided creative experience, grounded in curiosity and exploration. Sprig + Stone's guided creative experience is a structured session where you're led through a watercolor painting process from start to finish. The guidance removes the pressure of a blank page so your mind can settle into the work itself. The...
Remember when I mentioned I was building something?
A NOTE FROM KATE Hi! If we've crossed paths recently, there's a good chance I've chatted about something I've been building organically. You asked a thoughtful question when we met networking, and I probably talked too long, and then we exchanged cards. Or maybe we had a coffee-fueled conversation that inspired me to continue on this path. Either way, this is me following through. Sprig + Stone is a guided watercolor experience designed as a creative reset. It's not an art class, and it's not...
