Heart Letters: a mixed-media experience

Service Description

Fridays, October 3, 10, 17 and 24 1-4 pm Payment is $65 to Create Space for the 4-class series There is a $20 materials fee due at the first class to the teachers. If this is a stretch, please pay what you can. This class is about exploring who you are as a creator and falling in love with the magic and joyful aliveness of your own creativity. The exploration begins with meeting our inner artist - and everyone has one, even if you’re not acquainted yet! We’ll be playing with a wide range of materials and mixed-media techniques drawn from Jackie and Lianna’s years of creative experience. On a deeper level, we’ll be using poetry and writing prompts to explore our inner gifts and potentials. Think of all of this as creating a collection of love letters to and from your own heart – honoring the wholeness of your life experiences.
