Kulay at Kwentuhan (Color and ChitChat) are chill watercolor sessions that provide a space of reflection and grounding. ChiChai leads guests into a guided activity over discussions on our shared experiences as Fil-Ams. All skill-levels are encouraged!
Join us both IRL or virtually! Event is hybrid, with limited in-person tickets.
ChiChai will teach attendees how to paint the waling-waling aka the Queen of Orchids. This beautiful flower blooms only twice a year; February to March. ChiChai will guide you in basic watercolor techniques and collaging to create this artwork in time for spring.
