Sunday, February 23, 2025; 12pm - 5:30pm
$85
Exercises that will help you drop into a state of doing without thoughts and critical analysis, where you are directly experiencing creative expression with painting and collage. Let us step into a child-like state and finger paint, let us free write and tap into our deepest yearnings and then create from this place. Play and experimentation is where invention and innovation are born.
Through courageous play, through quick, fun exercises we will access a state of flow and then create from that place. Learning how to access your own flow state is helpful not just in art making but in any creative pursuit- working on that book? Needing to solve challenging problems at work that require out of the box thinking? Step out of your judgemental mind and enter a space of openness and play.
