Art as Self Care: Medium Exploration

(6 weeks)
8-9:30 pm
all materials included
 
This 6-week studio class offers a relaxed, supportive space for adults to explore art-making as a restorative creative practice and to learn the joys of slowing down in a community-based setting. Working with a range of drawing, painting, and mixed-media materials, students will experiment with different artistic mediums and learn how each can be incorporated into an ongoing personal practice. The focus is on curiosity, exploration, and building a sustainable creative routine rather than producing finished or polished work.
 
Each session includes prompts, brief technique demonstrations, and time for independent studio work, allowing students to work at their own pace and follow their interests. By exploring multiple materials and approaches, students will gain practical tools they can continue using beyond the class to support both creative growth and personal well-being.
 
No prior art experience required!
