Rebel Bloom is a mixed-media workshop focused on bold, high-contrast art making. We’ll create and cut our own collage papers, warm up with loose floral sketches, and then pull it all together with mixed media techniques to build a handmade zine that captures your own story of growth.
You’ll design and illustrate your zine using simple construction methods and guided prompts. After we photocopy your master copy, we’ll break the rules a bit—adding color, texture, or a quick paint flick—so every zine has its own spark. Then we’ll trade zines so everyone leaves with a shared collection of work from the group.
This class is perfect for artists of all experience levels who want to loosen up, experiment, and bloom in their own wild way.
Make bold art, swap stories, and walk away with a zine that pushes your creativity forward.
All levels welcome—no formal drawing skills needed.

Jesse Petersen
Jesse Petersen is an artist and entrepreneur who thrives at the intersection of creativity and well-being. With a deep passion for painting and empowering others to create, she believes that art is a powerful tool for mindfulness, helping us slow down, take a deep breath, and truly notice the world around us. Jesse offers online courses in art journaling and mixed media, as well as in-person workshops for all skill levels. Her teaching goes beyond technique—through themed projects and insightful prompts, she encourages you to cultivate creative habits, grow as an artist, and embrace art as a form of self-care. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to deepen your practice, Jesse is here to support your creative journey.
Feel free to use what you already have on hand and adjust colors or materials to your preference. You may use paint if you like, just with less water, as we’ll be working on typing paper as our substrate.
There’s no need to purchase a lot of new supplies. Creating a zine is all about utilizing what you already have.
