Design, Carve, Stamp : Rubber Stamp Carving Workshop
Design, Carve, Stamp : Rubber Stamp Carving Workshop with Miranda Wildman
Ready to make a tiny printing press you can hold in your hand?
Join me for a colorful, joy-filled workshop where we’ll design and carve our own easy rubber stamps inspired by bold graphics and playful line drawings like the ones you see here.
This beginner-friendly class is all about simple shapes, expressive lines, and one-of-a-kind designs that are all you. I’ll guide you step by step through transferring your design, carving safely and confidently, and inking up your stamp for that deeply satisfying first print.
We’ll experiment with vibrant colors, layered printing, and pattern making. You can keep it minimal and graphic or go with a pattern. Your stamp can be as unique as your handwriting.
The best part? You leave with a reusable stamp you can print with again and again for years to come. Make your own wrapping paper, greeting cards, fabric accents, art journals, party decorations, tags for homemade gifts, seasonal craft projects, and more. One small block, endless possibilities.
All materials are provided. All levels welcome. All identities and intersections welcome. Come as you are ready to design, carve, stamp, and celebrate the magic of making your own unique art.

Magic Gardens: Large Scale Works on Paper
Magic Gardens:
Large Scale Works on Paper with local artist Miranda Wildman @ Artplay Asheville
Magic Gardens is a large-scale painting workshop inspired by the way gardens grow. Slowly, sometimes unexpectedly, and in conversation with time.
Working with acrylic ink, paint, and marker and intuitive mark making, we’ll build layered paintings that feel cultivated rather than controlled. Colors will blend, overlap, and surprise. Lines and shapes may echo stems + branches, fruits + florals, pathways + meanderings, weather + seasons, or vibrant, imagined landscapes. Some marks will feel intentional. Others will arrive unannounced!
This workshop invites you to work big, letting your whole body participate, the paper becoming a place where curiosity can wander. We’ll explore transparency, shape, rhythm, and repetition, using water as both collaborator and vehicle for colors.
There’s no finished image to chase. No right way for a garden to grow.
Instead, we’ll practice noticing when to add, when to wait, and when to let something remain unresolved. The focus will be on layering, listening, and staying present with the magic emerging.
All experience levels are welcome. This is a spacious, supportive environment for anyone curious about abstraction, color, and working at a large scale with mixed media paper. Come as you are, ready to experiment, make a beautiful mess, and see what wants to grow in your magic garden!

Watercolor ShadowPlay Red House Black Mountain
Join artist and educator Miranda Wildman for a light-filled, exploratory art workshop playing with botanical shadows and watercolor paints, designed for all levels of experience.
Set within an immersive, thoughtfully curated ambience created by Miranda at the Red House Gallery & Studios in Black Mountain, NC, this workshop invites you to slow down, notice, and create.
Together, we’ll experiment with watercolor paints and beautiful mixed media papers, collaborating with light and shadow to make delicate, expressive works of art. These small pieces are perfect for framing or gifting, and you’ll leave with several finished artworks on high-quality paper.
This is a fun, relaxed way to make art—whether you come with new friends, old friends, or on your own. Miranda creates a special playlist to inspire both creative flow and easy conversation, encouraging connection as much as expression.
Everyone is welcome. Miranda is generous with her creative teachings and materials and encourages each participant to work at their own pace, following curiosity rather than rules.
Let the world of light and shadow spark creative expression within you.
All materials provided. Come as you are. Leave inspired, connected, glowing with new ideas, and several pieces of small artworks on high quality mixed media papers. Feel free to bring a drink and snacks.

Mixed Media Mementos Art Place Studios
I am so happy to invite you into a daytime art gathering that gently resists the rush to produce and meet deadlines.
We’ll meet at Art Place Studios in Hendersonville, NC for a few spacious hours devoted to slowing down, making marks, building colorful layers following curiosity, and letting productivity loosen its grip.
I’m Miranda Wildman, a local artist who believes art doesn’t need to be useful, impressive, or perfect to matter. I’ll offer step-by-step guidance through a playful mixed media process, holding space for exploration rather than outcomes. I will demonstrate how I use the art materials in my own work, and together, we’ll create abstract, unique, mixed media artworks on wood, focusing on how it feels to make rather than what the finished piece “should” be.
Gathered around shared tables in the bright Art Place Studios classroom, we’ll work with vibrant acrylic paint, delightful collage materials carefully curated by me, and a variety of surprise mixed media elements on wood panels, No pressure to perform. Just permission to be present with the art materials and each other.
A few details:
— I’ll provide everything we need to create layered mixed media pieces on wood panels. If you please you may bring collage ephemera or mixed media materials of your own to incorporate into your artwork.
- All ages welcome (under 13 with an adult)
- All identities and intersections welcome
- All experience levels welcome from beginner to seasoned artists
This is art as rest, as connection to one another, as a small and meaningful refusal to submit to the status quo. Choosing curiosity over efficiency, we will expand our capacity to express ourselves creatively perhaps in unexpected and new ways. Everyone will leave with a multilayered, vibrant story of an artwork on wood or canvas, either finished or beckoning to unfold further at home.
