Current workshops:
Sacred Creative Art Journaling
Tuesdays, beginning Sept. 10th, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Description:
Sacred Creative Art Journaling is a contemplative, life-giving practice where faith and prayer meet art journaling. For Christian creatives, it’s a discipline that connects us with our Creator and invites us to the embodied experience. As we invite God into our creative process, we experience a security and attunement that allows our creative expression to become unhindered and free and our creative output to become a Spirit-led offering to Him and the world for His goodness, grace, and glory.
In our 13 weeks together, we will alternate meeting in person one week and completing journal pages independently during the “off week”. During our “off weeks”, creative prompts and carefully curated readings will be provided to encourage independent journaling. Sharing our work from these weeks when we come together again is optional. During the seven in-person meetings, we will explore various ways to fill a faith-fueled creative journal including mixed media techniques, watercolor, mark-making, layering, collage, poetry, and more. My hope is that after these workshops are over, you’ll continue with this creative practice.
All participants should bring a journal with pages thick/heavy enough to support various mixed media, typically 90 pounds or higher. Mixed media or watercolor-specific journals are perfect and can be found at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, or on Amazon. Spiral or non-spiral bound does not matter. Reach out to Kelly if you have questions about this or need help getting a journal prior to our first gathering. In addition to a journal, bring your Bible, favorite pens and/or any art journaling supplies you already use and enjoy.
I offer one-on-one creative art studio and instruction time for all lovers of art: budding artists, tweens/teens not getting enough art exposure in school or at home, the adult who needs gentle encouragement or who wants to explore their creativity in a safe and encouraging environment, homeschoolers, and anyone looking for time in an art space that is not their home. Please reach out for more details.
Shared Small Group Experience
Do you and the ladies in your small group want to build your creative community? Do you wish there was a place you all could meet in a safe, loving, inspiring, and encouraging environment to make art together? You are welcome here. I can lead a workshop for your group or you can rent the art studio space. Please reach out and we can work out the details. If you are hesitant to ask, please know I have a HUGE heart for people who want to build a creative community and will be happy to discuss the details with you and see what we can come up with.
