A Fremont coffee shop is turning Mother’s Day week into a low-pressure art night. On Thursday, May 7, 2026, Dotted Beauties is running a two-hour dot-paint workshop at Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. from 6 to 8 p.m. The pitch is simple — come with your mom, bring a friend, or show up solo and make something by hand. The bigger draw is that it strips away the usual “I’m not artistic” panic and makes the whole thing feel more like a cozy night out than a formal class. ### What is this event, exactly? It’s a Mother’s Day Dot Paint & Sip Night for teens and adults, built around dot art rather than traditional brush painting. Everyone gets the materials — paints, tools, and the surface to paint on — and the organizer frames it as a relaxed night in Fremont, at 4193 Cushing Parkway. ### When does it happen? The event is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Doors open at 5:50 p.m., so it’s really meant to be an evening activity, not an all-day Mother’s Day fair. That timing matters because Mother’s Day itself falls on Sunday, May 10 this year, so this works more like a lead-up celebration than a day-of brunch replacement. ### Who is it for? The listing says it’s open to ages 15 and up, and it explicitly welcomes people who come alone as well as pairs coming to spend time together. That makes the event a little broader than the usual “mom-and-me” craft class. Basically, it’s designed for anyone who wants the Mother’s Day theme without needing to show up as part of a perfect family tableau. ### Why dot art? Dot art is the kind of format that lowers the barrier fast. You’re not being asked to master brush strokes, perspective, or realistic shading on the spot. The organizer even leans into that idea — the appeal is that almost anyone can place dots and still come away with something instead of feeling intimidated. ### What does it cost? Tickets are listed at $45 per person or $75 for two people, which clearly nudges guests toward bringing someone along. There’s one extra catch — each person also has
