SUMMARY:May Intentions: A One-Month Vision Board
DESCRIPTION:Join for a special end-of-month session where our usual Craft & Conversation transforms into a Vision Board Night. This month we’re visioning what May will bring! This series is a monthly reset where we focus on what we want to call in for the month ahead using a collage\, with short-term goals and intentions. It’s a gentle\, manageable version of vision boarding\, held on the last Monday of each month so we can welcome the new month with clarity. We’ll collage our goals using a variety of materials like magazines\, quotes\, scrapbooking supplies and stickers so you can bring your vision to life. You don’t need to bring anything\, but you’re welcome to bring your own items or even bring an unfinished vision board if you’d like.Limited to 8 people.

SUMMARY:Art Journalling Series with Bella - FULL
DESCRIPTION:Join Bella and Jessica as we explore the practice of art journalling. Bella brings a wealth of experience using all kinds of materials\, tools and practices to creatively process her experience through art journalling. Art Journalling invites us to get to explore\, get messy and trust the process. \n\n\n\nThis is a bi-weekly group running for the following dates: January 28th\, February 11th\, February 25th\, March 11th\, April 1st and April 15th. There will be a closing session on April 25th from 1:00-3:30pm. \n\n\n\nOverviewLife is a beautiful and complicated experience and sometimes it can be hard to process it all. Art journaling is one tool we can use to express and unravel the layered inner world we all have. There is a story you are telling yourself as you go through life\, woven from past experiences and internal voices. This can change how you perceive yourself\, the choices you make and even the person you may believe you are. You are the one writing your story and you have the power to re-write it. It starts with hearing yourself\, making space and time to listen. \n\n\n\nThrough the process of creating and playing in an art journal\, I believe you can begin that journey. You can travel the depths of your own self to become your own home\, to find radical belonging and love for all the versions of yourself and expand your everyday experiences. \n\n\n\nYou can only hear yourself if you’re listening. Resources and MaterialsNotebook for writing \n\n\n\nOptional ready made art journal or blank mixed media/ watercolour paper pad to create your own handmade concertina art journal. Any favourite art supplies. \n\n\n\nExamples: \n\n\n\nStrathmore mixed media bound book or Canson XL watercolour pad \n\n\n\nIf you need to work with a budget option (dollar tree) or have something you already own I can show you techniques to deal with thinner papers or how to deal with a notebook bursting at the seams. If you know a specific theme or topic you would like to focus on during the course\, you can come with a brainstorm or come with an open heart to hear what you’re subconsciously holding inside. \n\n\n\nWeekly Objectives \n\n\n\nSession one: Introduction & What Is Your Story? \n\n\n\nBackground building\, choosing our containers\, movement play\, collage for listening \n\n\n\nSession Two: Your mythology \n\n\n\nChoose personal images to create symbolism and secret meanings in your art. Build a library of words and phrases to help guide you and create found poems. Use your intuition to hear yourself and see what meanings emerge. \n\n\n\nSession Three: Inner landscapes\, outer dreamscapes. \n\n\n\nUsing collage to tell stories and mixed media tools to transform it. Constructing a concertina book. \n\n\n\nSession Four: Home: How is the Weather Inside of You? Journaling prompts and inspiring quotes that help you think differently and allow yourself to wander your inner world. Create hidden journaling homes for your writing\, safe spaces for all of you. \n\n\n\nSession Five: You have layers \n\n\n\nThe power of process. Confront negative thinking with wild playfulness. Talk back to your fears by building the language you need in your every day life. Uncover your mask and use it for taking back your power. \n\n\n\nSession Six: Windows\, doors\, mirrors and portals.Sometimes we need to destroy and excavate and move to get the transforming power of art. Learn ways to make your art journal interactive. \n\n\n\nSession Seven: Tying it all together. \n\n\n\nIf you chose to build a book we will explore covers and closures for our books. Learn how to slow stitch (even if you’ve never sewed or don’t usually like it!) a sari tie. We will add details and return to past pages. Reflecting and looking back over our work to discover the beauty you already had within all this time. Tips for preserving your work.
