Hands busy. Mind settled. Conversation flowing.

That’s what Art for Wellbeing looks like here: approachable, grounding, and built around real connection.

Thank you to everyone who joined us ✨

Every week, we run daytime Art for Wellbeing classes at 10:30 on Wednesdays. This week we will be working with air dry clay ✨

Air Dry Clay Workshop in St. Cloud near Lake Nona | Art for Wellbeing Class

There’s something about working with clay that just slows everything down in the best way.

This Wednesday, we’re getting hands-on with air dry clay — exploring playful techniques, experimenting a bit, and letting the process lead (no experience needed, ever).

It’s not about making something perfect. It’s about giving your brain a break, using your hands, and maybe surprising yourself along the way.

🧡 Beginner-friendly
🧠 Creativity backed by wellbeing benefits
🌿 A different kind of midweek reset

📍 @visitthefamilyfarm in St. Cloud
🕥 10:30–11:45am

If you’ve been wanting to try something new, or just need a shift in your week — come join us!

Stop trying to make it make sense.

That was the rule of today’s Surrealist Collage Workshop.

We started with ideas.
Then we let them fall apart.

Pieces moved. Plans shifted. Unexpected combinations took over.
And somewhere in that… flow.

Surrealists like Salvador Dalí believed the mind works best when it’s not over-managed. Today, we practiced exactly that.

Less forcing. More noticing.
Less control. More curiosity.

Art for wellbeing isn’t about getting it right. It’s about letting the process change you.

This is what art can look like when we remove the pressure — engaging your brain, lowering stress, and opening space for something new.

That's what The Ugly Art Studio is all about 🧡✨🎨

This is your un-needed permission slip to make art without having to be good at it ✍️🧡

Just some low key, wholesome, nervous-system-approved art time.

No need to explain it to anyone. No need to show it to anyone. You can even throw it in the trash when you're done --- it makes no difference!

The simple act of *doing* the art is where the benefits come from. So when your activity ends, the benefits have already been integrated.

Pick a medium and create 🎨

This is our favorite creative kit right now. 🌸

We made this kit for people who want to make art with nature and share it with friends.

The Pressed Flower Greeting Card Kit walks you through pressing flowers and making simple, thoughtful greeting cards using real materials. It’s structured enough to feel easy, but open enough to make it your own.

Everything’s included (just add flowers). No special skills, no complicated steps, no pressure to make it look a certain way.

It’s calm, hands-on, and genuinely enjoyable—especially if you’ve been wanting to make something but didn’t know where to start.

I’m not a team-building expert.

But I am an art educator.
And I work in arts-in-health.

So I’ll share what I see—again and again.

When adults make art together, something shifts.

Not because art is a cure-all.
Not because other approaches don’t work.
Just because art creates a very specific kind of environment.

Here’s what actually happens:
People relax.
Pressure drops.
They talk — without being told to.

This is art doing what it does best:
creating space for connection, regulation, and shared experience.

From an arts-in-health perspective, that’s art working exactly as biologically intended.

✨ Throwback to Lake Nona’s Oh What Fun Market ✨

Still thinking about this magical little moment, tucked inside the gingerbread houses, surrounded by twinkle lights, curious passersby, and so many conversations that started with “I’m not an artist, but…”

One of our favorite details from the day: we set up a shared watercolor painting that dozens of people contributed to. Art tables turning into connection points. Strangers painting together. People smiling, exhaling, and giving themselves permission to create, just for the joy of it.

This is what happens when art becomes a gathering place. When people linger. When creativity feels welcoming instead of intimidating.

Lake Nona, thank you for showing up with openness and heart. More of this in 2026! 🧡

We design experiences that allow facilitators to show up fully — and participants to feel held, seen, and empowered through creative process.

We started The Ugly Art Studio with one question:
➡What if art was treated like a wellness tool — not a talent test?

Last month, Orlando Voyager asked us to share our story for their Inspiring Stories Series, exploring how art, science, and community came together to shape what UAS is today.

If you’re curious how creativity supports wellbeing (without needing to be “good” at art), this one’s worth a read.

Happy New Year to all! 🎉

Did you know we do onsite workshops?! 👩🏻‍🎨

That’s right! Our art-for-wellbeing workshops are perfect for team building, appreciation events, and other celebrations or important moments. 🧡🎨

We select process-oriented art activities accessible to any skill level, and we promise we won’t have you “painting another bridge to nowhere,” as one of our clients perfectly put it 😆

Our goal is to get you in flow state, connect with the community around you, and release the pressure of perfectionism. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Choose from a variety of curated art activities, then add a take-home wellness goodie bag to seal in the experience for your group. 🛍️

Location: Central Florida (Orlando and surrounding areas) for groups of any size. Southeastern Wisconsin (Milwaukee to Madison) for groups of 50 or more.

Book your workshop today! DM to schedule or send us an email samantha@uglyartstudio.com 💃🏻

✨ We have a few December openings left for on-site art-for-wellbeing workshops — perfect for team building, end-of-year celebrations, or bringing a little extra joy to your workplace or community.

🖌️ What’s included:
• 2 hours of guided, process-focused artmaking
• All supplies + setup
