Sketchbook Journaling with Lilla Rogers

Five Wednesdays, February 17 - March 17, 2027

From: 10 AM – 12 PM

Course description

Grab your coffee next door at Quebrada and wander over to the charming new space at Maxima Hive for a joyful five-week creative adventure. Together, we’ll explore gorgeous art supplies, playful prompts, and inspiring ways to bring your sketchbook to life.

A sketchbook is a magical place to experiment with materials, try on new styles, and capture the small, beautiful moments of everyday life. Each week I’ll demo art supplies and techniques guaranteed to spark your imagination and light up your creative practice.

In this five-week class—designed to delight both seasoned artists and enthusiastic creatives—we’ll play with watercolor, gouache, colored pencils, a variety of pens, and more. We’ll gather sweet little things to glue into our journals (a coffee receipt, a lovely leaf) and use them as starting points for color, lettering, and storytelling. I’ll show you simple yet gorgeous watercolor techniques, plus some of my favorite vintage-inspired lettering styles.

You absolutely do not need to know how to draw—there are so many delightful ways to decorate a page. My goal is always to make art a joy, whether you’re a total beginner looking to begin a practice or a seasoned artist ready to expand your style.

Come hang out with your coffee, your art supplies, and some good music. Let’s fill your sketchbook with delight.

Materials list will be provided.

*Class Registration, Cancellation & Refund Policy

To provide the best experience while keeping our programs sustainable, most classes require a minimum number of participants. Maxima Hive reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a class if the minimum enrollment is not met.

If We Cancel a Class

If Maxima Hive cancels a class, registered participants may choose one of the following:

• A full refund of the original method of payment.
• Store credit for the full registration amount, which may be used toward any purchase at Maxima Gift Center, Maxima Book Center, or any future Maxima Hive class or event.

We encourage participants to choose store credit whenever possible, as credit card processing fees are incurred when payments are processed and again when refunds are issued. Selecting store credit helps us reduce these costs and continue offering quality community programming.

Participant Cancellations

If you cancel your registration before the class or event, an 8% cancellation/restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. This fee helps offset the non-refundable credit card processing and administrative costs associated with your registration.

Instead of a refund, you may choose to receive 100% of your registration fee as store credit, with no cancellation fee deducted. Store credit may be used toward merchandise at Maxima Gift Center or Maxima Book Center, or toward any future Maxima Hive class or event.

Class Rescheduling

If a class is rescheduled, your registration will automatically be transferred to the new date. If you are unable to attend the new date, you may choose either a full refund or store credit.

Thank you for supporting local, small-business programming. Your understanding allows us to continue offering meaningful classes, workshops, and events for our community.
