Or maybe you work in an artistic field, always on other people’s projects… Just never on your own? This powerful, seven-week course is for novices and working artists of all types, including writers, visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians… Anyone who recognizes their innate creativity! In a supportive and safe setting we will: • Work through the chapters and exercises in The Artist’s Way • Take a look “behind the scenes” – Those people, places, things in both our past and present that keep us from plunging forward with our art • Hold ourselves accountable to daily/weekly creative practices and (at least!) one project each that we will share at the last class • Discover new processes to make us more pro-active and productive • Re-discover joy in little things, in one another, and in our day to day lives. Bring a copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and a 9″ x 11” unlined sketchbook. No previous art experience required. Register for this free introductory class here!
