Each week, we will have a different creative prompt and spend time learning and using a variety of art making processes and techniques, all while using supplies found around the house!

Creativity is proven to have positive effects in reducing anxiety, boosting mood, and improving focus… the list of benefits goes on and on! Combining art with journaling can be truly enjoyable and enrich our lives. It can create a sense of self-awareness, encourage us, empower us, and inspire us.

You are welcome to attend all sessions of the class, or just drop in when you are available. No previous experience is needed!

Suggested supplies: Pen or pencil, paper or a notebook, scissors, glue or other adhesive, other art supplies. Suggestions for substitutions will be offered – you can use whatever you have on hand!
