The creative process is not unique to those who call themselves artists. In these sessions the emphasis is on visual art making - where the creative process begins with coming to the senses and facing a blank sheet of paper. Inspiration and imagination spring from this place and the process then becomes one of waiting, listening, following and above all being available to surprises. Often the gap between inspiration and giving form can be filled with obstacles , self consciousness and negativity. It is a time to trust and use each moment as an opportunity. 

The image that finds its way is the right image.

In this workshop, everyone is a beginner and everyone is an expert . All levels of experience with creative art making are welcome and the materials provided are ordinary pastels, clay and the  tempra paints  that are the joys of our childhood. The purpose of the group is to encourage aliveness and vitality through free expression and the emphasis is on the process rather than expertise in art making.

Expect to surprise yourself, to experience a sense of vitality and joy in unbounded self expression.
