Have you ever thought to yourself, "I'd love to make art but I get so in my head about it."?
This accessible workshop combines guided meditation and abstract painting, so that you can notice and process the emotions and impulses that come up within you as you detach from the outcome and stay present throughout the process.
This workshop is more about cultivating a warm, playful attitude towards your art and less about 'getting it right'. This exercise is especially valuable for beginner painters and those with anxiety surrounding creative expression in any medium. Awaken and nourish your inner child in a supportive creative environment. All art supplies needed will be provided.
Cost: $45
