Making stuff in studio! #artist #signmaking #fingerpainting

Great fun creating at Laughing One Studios with small group! This session was full of explorations with materials and processes resulting in over a dozen pieces of art and triple that number of smiles. One of the most essential aspects of guiding others in art making is that they own their work and satisfaction. This was certainly accomplished today! You can schedule a@creativity session, too - come out materials and make all kinds of art = date night, birthday party, girlfriends = all great explorers welcome!

Hello & welcome 👋✨ I’m Susan Lachmann, a mixed media artist, lifelong cook, and the creative heart behind Laughing Ones Studios. My work lives at the intersection of art, food, design, and play. I believe ingredients can be materials, kitchens can be studios, and creativity is something we all deserve to explore together. 🍊🎨 Laughing Ones Studios is based at the Fischman Gallery in Johnson City, TN, where I’m cultivating a space for families and adults to slow down, get curious, and make art inside the gallery. This studio is about hands-on exploration and creative joy. There is no pressure here, just expression. Alongside my art practice, I’m also a longtime local cook (some of you may know me from WJHL or Daytime Tri-Cities 👩‍🍳), and food is at the heart of everything I do. That love is now coming to life through food-based art workshops, designed to bring people together around the table and the art-making process. ✨ Coming soon: The Edible Palette A new workshop series exploring the intersection of art & design with food & nutrition. Details, schedule, and registration info will be shared in an upcoming post, so stay tuned for delicious details! Thank you for being here at the beginning. I can’t wait to create with you. 💛
