Over a decade ago, we met Erin Gleeson<\/a> as she was on the brink of motherhood\u2014pregnant with her first child, freshly profiled by MOTHER<\/a> in 2014, and already enchanting us with the colorful, creative world of The Forest Feast<\/a>. Fast forward to last year, and Erin returned to San Francisco (after moving to Wisconsin) as the author\u2014and illustrator\u2014of 5 vegetarian cookbooks, a mom of three, and celebrating the launch of her latest title, The Watercolor Feast: Learn To Paint Simple Fruits, Vegetables, & Edible Flowers<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, we gathered some of our local community at the dreamy Case for Making<\/a> shop\u2014which sits just blocks from the Pacific Ocean and is a place where artists<\/a> around the country snap up the brand’s renowned handmade watercolors<\/a> and other art essentials. Case for Making<\/a>‘s brand-new workshop space was the perfect venue to host an intimate watercolor lesson led by Erin herself.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by florals and vibrant produce spilling down the center of the table, guests painted, sipped delicious spritzes by Apl\u00f3s<\/a>, and snacked on a bountiful fruit, veggie, and hummus spread by Little Sesame<\/a>, created by Salo Salo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
