Beginners Watercolor Jellyfish Painting, $45 per person, all supplies included
Ready to get a little messy and a lot creative? Join us for a laid back painting session where we’ll be channeling some serious gulf coast vibes. No art experience? No problem. We’re all about process over perfection here!
The Game Plan:
• Doodle & Flow: We’ll start by sketching out some groovy, flowing lines with Sharpies to map out our jellyfish. It’s basically professional level doodling.
• Color Explosion: Grab a brush and start filling in those spaces with whatever colors speak to you. Neon pink? Electric blue? Sunset orange? Anything goes.
• Splatter & Chill: We’ll finish things off with some fun background washes and maybe a few paint splatters for that perfect under the sea look.
Our ticket policy: Please keep in mind that once you’ve snagged your tickets, they’re all yours! We don’t do refunds or exchanges, and that includes situations like personal scheduling conflicts, travel hiccups, health concerns, or unexpected changes in your life. Considerable planning and purchasing of materials are involved in preparing for these workshops, thank you for understanding.
I can’t wait to craft with you!

For The Birds - An Artful Fundraiser
2026-08-07 18:00 - 21:00 | Brenda McMahon Gallery, 2901 Beach Blvd S, #104, Gulfport, FL, 33707, United States
We are excited to announce a group exhibition: FOR THE BIRDS – An Artful Fundraiser.
Over 18 artists have been invited to show ‘bird art’ at this exhibition where 10% of the sales proceeds go directly to Birds in Helping Hands, a rescue organization helping birds in crises.
We love our aviary friends, but often human behavior puts birds in dire circumstances. Birds in Helping Hands will rescue birds tangled in fishing wire, torn by hooks or just suffering from broken limbs. Whatever the trauma, Birds in Helping Hands, an all volunteer organization, is there to help.
This August, Brenda McMahon Gallery is connecting art lovers with bird lovers. We aim to inspire while also doing good!
The exhibition runs through August 30th.
We are thrilled to host Jazz singer Sasha Tuck & Mike Hoke for our musical interlude. Music is on the Stage at 2901 runs from 6-9pm.

Southern Nights: Traditional groundhog kiln workshop with Jon Brinley
2026-08-21 08:00 - 2026-08-22 10:00 | Morean Center for Clay, 420 22nd Street South, Saint Petersburg, FL, 33712, United States
Friday and Saturday
August 21 – 22
Time
8am Friday – Est. 10am Saturday
Price
$250 – Materials Fee $50 paid at the start of the workshop ~ Cash Only
Traditional groundhog kilns have been the mainstay kiln design of eastern Appalachia for over 150 years. Their simplistic design lends to a relatively fast firing cycle of 8-12 hours, compared to other kiln designs, while heavily relying on alkaline glazes, slips and salt for the ware.
Though many of today’s contemporary wood fire potters may have moved away from these kilns there are some that only prefer this traditional method of firing.
We aim to show why these traditions are still viable. With less stresses on the exacts of stoking sequences and more on wood selection and clay choices. We will also be sharing few glazes that have served potters of old, and us very well.
Students will arrive at 8am on Friday with 6-12 pieces of their own medium sized pottery, ready to be fired. Students and instructors will work together to load the kiln and firing will begin around 6pm. The kiln must be tended to at all times, and students will pick shifts to keep things running through the night. Expect a late evening, midnight, or early Saturday shift.
Register Here!
Supplies:
Closed Toed shoes
Natural fiber clothing
6-12 pieced of your own, medium sized, work to be fired
