Most people stop drawing between the age of 9-11 because it is the age when the self-critical voice develops. Go figure. Meanwhile, we also know drawing has a ton of beneficial effects on the brain. It reduces stress, it improves concentration and coordination, and it has an overall impact on your creativity in general. How do you get out of your own way and let yourself draw from your inner 8-year-old again? I’m here to show you. If you want to render a perfectly shaded bowl of fruit, head to the museum school. If you want to remember how to draw for fun? This is the class for you.
This is the second part of my drawing for fun series. You don’t have to have taken the first class but this one will be different activities building on the same ideas. There will be opportunities to try out different materials and different techniques but again, this is about leaning into your creativity not artistic mastery! You will leave a little lighter and looser and who doesn’t need that?
Discover the satisfying art of block printing in this relaxing, beginner-friendly workshop! If you have ever wanted to design your own custom stamps, fabric patterns, or art prints, this is the perfect place to start. Instead of traditional linoleum carving, we will be using something akin to big smooth pink erasers so carving tools glide through this material like butter, making the process incredibly safe, easy to learn, and highly rewarding—no artistic experience or drawing skills required!
Back by popular demand…it’s collage with an important psychic message. Light-hearted yet strangely profound. This class gives you the opportunity to make your own collaged oracle card that will answer all your life’s burning questions.
By request, an afternoon to work on whatever you want or finish a project you started with all the supplies and none of the cleaning up. Enjoy non-directed art-making time and make new friends. Space limited.
Coming soon: Papier-mâché calaveras, animal medicine totems, zine-making, and more…
