Mindfulness Creativity Retreat

Join us for no pressure art, music and tea. It’s the process that matters, and the end results are secondary. Large scale intuitive drawing takes away the pressure of being a “good artist” because it is abstract and personal to the emotional experience of the individual. It promotes positive expression and creative communication with oneself as well as others through the combination of two different art forms; art and music. Soothing refreshments will be provided.

Join me for this bookbinding workshop using papers, threads, and a cracker box, cereal box, or other similar recycled paper for the book covers. The French Stitch looks elegant on the exposed spine of the book; providing a strong and decorative binding. Students will prepare their own covers, text blocks (book pages), and sew these together into a lovely journal for writing, drawing, or other creative endeavors. These books make lovely gifts as well!

Art Alliance presents a series of Summer Teen Workshops.  We are looking for enthusiastic artists interested in developing their skills, and connecting with art, ideas, and other young people.

These sessions will present step-by-step instruction on how to center, open, and pull up clay to create bowls, jars, cups and plates.  An entire week of instruction on the wheel  – students will learn techniques and processes that elevate their work.  Students will also glaze their own work and learn about the specifics of glazing. A full week of fun and learning at the potter’s wheel!

Please note: The sessions are comprised of 4 consecutive classes M-Th and a 5th class for glazing on the following Friday.  Glazing sessions are scheduled every following Friday at the same appointed time.
