Calling in Creativity: A Visual Art Workshop with Fran Gardner

Monday, February 16 – Thursday, February 19 | 10am-4pm with a lunch break each day

Have you ever had the experience of not making your art because you felt creativity wasn’t speaking to you? We all have had this, but the fact is, creativity is accessible to us every time we go to our studios. We don’t have to depend on a spark or inspiration. It is there if we invite it. This workshop is about developing a closer relationship with creativity so it shows up when you want it to. It is about understanding the language of creativity, how it operates in our minds and our hearts. We will use guided exercises that demonstrate how creativity functions. And since your artmaking is unique to YOU, so is this workshop. While making new experimental work, we will teach ourselves to keep creativity present in our studio practice every day.
