Creating art is a powerful, healing experience. It brings people together, offers a calming retreat during the creative process, and transforms the mind into a space where beauty thrives.

Join us in making "JOY" bracelets—simple, stretchy beaded bracelets crafted with genuine white jade. This beautiful stone is known for fostering love, compassion, and self-care, helping us connect with our higher selves and cultivate a sense of unity with the world.

Thanks to the generosity of award-winning Sausalito-based artist Mary Lou Dauray, all supplies will be provided, along with one-on-one guidance and, most importantly, a sense of community!

Inspired by the radiant joy seen on the faces of Taylor Swift concertgoers and their friendship bracelets, Mary Lou hopes to spread that same energy through the creation of white jade "JOY" bracelets. Wearing one serves as a reminder of the happiness found in the creative process and encourages us to focus on joy, not negativity—a simple yet powerful way to share positivity in the world.

Come enjoy a peaceful, fun-filled experience with white jade beads, stretchy thread, video tutorials, and warm camaraderie. Let's create and spread joy together!

Hosted by Sausalito Village in partnership with Sausalito Library
