NEW! The Art of Emergence: Expressive Drawing & Painting Saturday 9/19, 10:00am - 1:00pm with local artist Katie Croft
We are excited for Katie to share this brand new beautiful offering with you!
Immerse yourself in a vivid, sensory-rich creative journey in this three-hour expressive drawing and painting workshop, where art becomes movement, emotion, intuition, and symbol. Guided by the Expressive Arts Continuum, you'll move through a series of layered creative experiences that awaken curiosity, deepen inner listening, and invite authentic self-expression.
We begin with kinesthetic mark-making using fluid paint, allowing movement and gesture to lead the way. From there, we'll soften into the tactile pleasures of pan pastels and watercolor, exploring color, sensation, and emotional resonance. As we continue through the continuum, collage and soft pastels add depth, texture, and complexity to the emerging image. In the final stages, pencil, pen, and ink bring focus, intention, and structure, inviting personal symbolism and deeper meaning to naturally reveal themselves through your work.
This workshop is perfect for artists, creatives, and curious beginners seeking inspiration, looking to deepen their creative practice, or eager to explore new materials and intuitive ways of making art. No previous experience is necessary—only a willingness to experiment, trust the process, and discover what emerges.
You'll leave with new creative tools and techniques, a deeper connection to your authentic voice, and a renewed sense of expressive freedom that continues long after the workshop ends. You’ll also bring home a a richly layered mixed-media artwork, unique to you.
Inspired in part by the pioneering women of the nineteenth-century spiritualist movement—including Hilma af Klint, Georgiana Houghton, and Emma Kunz—this workshop honors artists who trusted intuition, meditation, and inner vision as creative guides. Their luminous, abstract works challenged conventional ideas of art and opened new pathways for expressive and intuitive art-making. Their legacy offers permission to create from the deep interior rather than the analytical mind—to trust what arrives, allow symbols to emerge without explanation, and embrace the mystery and wisdom of the creative process.
We look forward to hosting you!
