Exorcize Your Inner Critic
4 hour workshop
This workshop, utilizing fabric, paint, collage and journaling, will encourage you to get in touch with that nasty voice that tells you you aren't allowed to make art, you aren't allow to wear 2 different colors of socks, or you aren't "good enough" in a myriad of others ways. After listening carefully to what the voice has to say, we'll rewrite those messages. You'll leave class with a greater awareness of what blocks your creative path and how to move beyond those blocks...along with a one-of-a-kind physical representation of your inner critic. Workshops have no more than 6 participants.
