Event Overview

Do you feel a pull to do something creative but stop yourself before you begin? Do any of these sound familiar: How do I start? What if I don’t do it right? Why should I create something that no one else is ever going to see?

Fear not!  These are such common questions and concerns. I designed this hands-on workshop to show you how to begin to incorporate art and creative writing into your life for the first time or after a creative break of any length. Fear stops our creative work before we start. If you would like to learn how to make more art, but you don’t know how to start, the personalized attention in this workshop will get you started. 

Come and explore watercolor painting and drawing in a supportive and freeing environment. Creative writing will be incorporated and is meant to deepen your understanding of your own artmaking experience. In this workshop, you will learn:

• Simple and repeatable ways to begin to make art.


• A variety of creative writing responses.


• How to befriend your inner critic.

You will learn how to start making art with no predetermined outcome. This workshop will get your creative juices moving and help you begin.

No previous art or writing experience is required for this workshop. All materials are included, but you may wish to bring a favorite journal for written responses.
