These introductory workshops allow you to explore different mediums, create quick and creative work, and learn about the endless possibilities of art and storytelling.
Who Are These Workshops For?
These workshops are for anyone and everyone! They will be especially beneficial if you are: living a routine life and wanting to spark joy in everyday life, are not knowing what you want to do, or are looking for a community that prioritizes freedom and kindness. No prior artistic experience is necessary.
Do I Need Any Special Equipment or Knowledge?
