Workshops:
A Six-Month Altered Book Workshop
Extreme Collage Visioning
Spring is the perfect time of rebirth. New life is all around us. Take some time for yourself to take a deep breath, and reflect on where you've been and where you'd like to go. We have inside us everything we need to know. This process can help us see our paths a little more clearly or help create some landmarks or road signs to assist us in mapping our journeys.
There's some mystery involved as we use exercises to open our creativity and receive messages from the Universe to aid us in divining our path.
If you've kept a journal or created spontaneous imagery in sketchbooks you know the power of these forms of expression. The Extreme Visual Journal unites both of these powerful outpourings in a unique combination of text and imagery to simultaneously connect both hemispheres of the brain for deeper introspection.
Absolutely no artistic talent is necessary. You'll be guided to create your vision in an empowering and creative way. Lots of wonderful collage images provided to incorporate into your creative vision.
A Six-Month Altered Book Workshop
Ready for a change? Want to create a new opportunity in your work life? Or maybe bring more love into your life? Or, if you're heading to retirement, want to create an exciting third act for yourself? Are you feeling stuck or sensing something new wanting to blossom? Whatever the change you'd like to create, this women's workshop will support you as you get moving and start to make it happen.
Using collage to express your deepest desires, you'll kick roadblocks out of the way, unlock your creativity, and develop the tools to continue on your own. Absolutely no artistic talent or previous collage experience is necessary. In this supportive, accepting environment, no judgment will be given. You'll be encouraged to find your own authentic voice and unleash your creative spirit. And, you'll have fun!
You'll connect with other women on the path to change-both giving and receiving support in a loving and accepting environment.
Starting with an old book, you will alter it by adding images, paint, ribbon, buttons, photos, found objects, stamps, and anything else you might want to use that's relatively small and flat. You'll also remove some things, until you have an altered book that tells your own story. This is a treasure that you'll keep for years to come. Take a look in the gallery at some of the creations from the workshops.
Everything you need to know to create your book, you already know. This workshop will help you discover how to access it. And, if you have an inner artist waiting to be released, stand back because she'll come roaring out.
