Pattern Play with Barnacles & Bivalves taught by Molly Anthony
May 4, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
IN PERSON
Nature not only provides amazing inspiration for visual art, but as we dive deeper into the stories of the objects we’re drawing, sometimes we find incredible little tidbits to inspire our lives as well. We’ll begin by exploring some fascinating facts about barnacles and bivalves, then we’re going to spend time drawing variations of each. These drawings will be slow, mindful and relaxing and are not meant to be perfect. We’ll also work with adding color to our drawings (I love using watercolors because of their free-flowing nature and because both barnacles and bivalves live in water). Finally, we’ll talk about how to incorporate a mindful drawing practice into your everyday life for moments of calm and quiet and also how to use the stories about these amazing creatures to comfort, empower and inspire ourselves.
Supplies to bring:
- A journal or sketchbook
- A waterproof pen
- Watercolors (or something to add color)
Some shared supplies will be available for class use.

Molly Anthony is a writer and mixed-media artist and is also the co-facilitator for the MN Visual Journal Collective (a free monthly group for artists of all mediums hosted by Wet Paint). She loves exploring art in all forms and sharing her ideas with others, but through the pandemic and family struggles she learned the importance of using those practices for self-care. In her work and her teachings, she strives to embrace imperfection, focuses on process over product and is constantly looking for new ways to be curious about the world around her. You can find her artwork on Instagram at @mkranthony and on her website TheFoundArtWalk.com.
