Open studio will: 

• Provide time for us to tap into our creativity in a safe space 
• Continue to foster community as we have the opportunity to connect and share our experiences 
• Tap into creative flow and personal growth through suggested prompts for studio time    

As facilitator and guardian of this space, I will offer: 

• Prompts to get creativity flowing 
• A balance of sharing, so no one feels left out or put on the spot, or dominates the conversation  
• Suggested materials to use, including items you can find in your studio or at home-without having to go buy a ton of new supplies    

The only supplies you will absolutely need to participate are: 

• Paper or a journal  
• Something to draw or paint with  
• Glue or tape... something to make things stick 
• Scissors or x acto blade  
• Collage materials (junk mail, magazines, scrap fabric, ribbon, craft paper etc.)

Who Should Take This Class?

Adults 18+ who want to tap into their creativity and connect with fellow creative seekers. This is a donation-based class. Pay what feels right for you.
