I find that as I work with each of these qualities during the creative process, they naturally invite a depth of meaning, discovery and spiritual growth that not only expands the experience of creating art but also ripples into the rest of my life in unexpected and beautiful ways.
Explore this course over 4 weeks as I have it laid out or dive in and jump around however feels best for you. You receive unlimited access to this course with support from me along the way if you need it, so you can take your time and slowly play and discover.
"This whole class was just fabulous. I was glad you shared how thoughtfully ordered the classes were. I was tempted to do it in the order that many workshops follow: here’s what we are going to make. Work with that goal in mind - and instead followed your order. I am glad I did - making lots of marks and playing around before structuring the book was freeing. It really did allow for a more spontaneous and natural flow. And I felt my work was more meaningful to me. Playing removes the pressure to “perform”. Thank you Emma!" -Linda, past student
