The Ripple Experience: Love Letters to Myself

I’m Mansi, and I guide both. For a couple of hours, you can set down the responsibility of knowing what happens next and let someone else hold the room. We’ll work with color, paper, and layers to make an envelope book, with small artworks and words tucked inside—things you want to remember or say to yourself. You can choose words that feel true that morning, without needing to make them cheerful or profound. I’ll offer prompts and guide the making. No art experience is needed. There’s no model to copy, no technique to master, and no expectation that what you make must be good. You can talk, listen, pass on a question, or keep your thoughts to yourself. No one will ask you to explain your piece or share anything you’d rather keep private. You’ll leave with your own envelope book, a small record of your time at the table, to open and revisit. The photograph shows one possibility; yours will take its own form. All materials and light refreshments are provided. Come on your own or with a friend. Los Altos, California.
