Muse: noun

2. a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.
Inspiration comes from many different ways so we'll invite, explore and create with cold wax and acrylics on quality Ampersand art boards; two 12": X 12" and a few 5" x 7".
This is a special Sunday through Wednesday creative time devoted to you in a sacred place of belonging.
If you've ever wanted to explore cold wax painting with the encouraging guidance of a skilled and caring artist - this your chance!

HULLABALOO
The heart of the matter is creative immersion.
Process vs Product.
Experience vs Event.
Deep Dive vs. Surface Skimming.
What does all this mean? You are considered a valued guest; one who is interested in expanding and strengthening talents, skills and interests with others. By making and creating you get to express feelings and explore new ways of being. In a collaborative circle of belonging, the artist instructor is also giving their expertise, inspiration and guidance.
All of this is happening in a secluded nurturing environment where we can all learn, share and enrich the other.
-
JUST BE YOU: This is a judgment free, non-competitive, just have a darn good time experience. You are perfect just the way you are.
-
COMFORT ZONE NUDGES: Allow yourself to expand your craft and welcome the beauty of imperfection.
-
DRESS 4 MESS: Bring an apron [or gloves if you’re worried about your hands] because we'll be making beautiful messes!
