Cozy, beginner-friendly art workshops — watercolor, wood painting, weaving, and embroidery. Slow down, learn old-fashioned creative skills, and make something beautiful with your own hands at Palette Art Studio.
Hygge (say it “hoo-gah”) is the Danish art of warm, cozy togetherness — a nod to the Danish roots of founder Amber Waters, and the feeling behind every workshop. Amber brings 20+ years in the professional art field as a University of Central Florida graduate and digital artist.

Choose Your Evening
Join for a single evening or gather them all — every workshop is fully guided and includes all materials.
Paint a warm autumn leaf wreath while learning beginner watercolor techniques. The design will be lightly traced and ready to personalize with the rich, colorful touches of the season. Leave with a graceful fall wreath painting that brings a little woodland beauty indoors. All materials included.
Paint three freestanding wooden houses in cozy autumn colors while learning simple acrylic-painting techniques. Add charming windows, doors, pumpkins, and leafy details to bring your own whimsical little fall village to life. Leave with a storybook-inspired village ready to display. All materials included.
Discover the traditional art of loom weaving while creating a small, textured wall hanging in warm autumn colors. Learn basic weaving, color changes, fringe, and finishing while combining soft wool roving and yarn into a cozy, one-of-a-kind piece filled with texture and seasonal charm. All materials included.
Learn foundational embroidery stitches while creating a simple floral pumpkin design in a wooden hoop. The pattern will be pretraced, making it easy to relax into the gentle rhythm of stitching while creating a sweet, heirloom-style piece of fall décor. No experience is necessary. All materials included.
Show up as you are — every brush, hoop, loom, and drop of paint is provided.
Every project is beginner-friendly, gently guided, and pretraced where it helps.

Not at all. Every workshop is beginner-friendly and gently guided — designs are lightly traced or pretraced where it helps, so you can relax into the process from the first minute.
Just yourself. All materials are included in every workshop — brushes, paint, hoops, looms, wool, and everything in between.
At Palette Art Studio in Central Florida. [street address + parking note pending]
Either. Each workshop stands on its own and can be booked individually, or reserve the full four-week series with one seat for all four evenings.
Hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”) is a Danish word for the feeling of cozy, contented togetherness — warm light, good company, and simple things made with care. The name is a nod to founder Amber Waters’ Danish ancestry, and to the heart of what she does: gathering people around a table to slow down and create.
The Hygge Hearth grew out of Amber’s previous studio, Smooth Waters — so you’re in the right place. The address is staying put for now, and every link and bookmark keeps working.
