The Artist’s Way Study Group Series
In all my experience teaching art to adults, from college courses at MIAD, to teaching retired folks at the John Michael Kohler Art Center, to my own workshops (Maybe you’ve been to one?! Heyyy!), my biggest takeaway is that most of us already have the basic skills to make something creative, cool, unique and beautiful. Humans are innately creative. What a lot of adults don’t have is the permission to make that thing. And I’m not talking about “permission” in the sense that you are setting aside the time to be creative or you allowed yourself to spend the money on some new art supplies. It runs much deeper than that. I’m talking about a mindset shift.
In this 6-month series we will use one of my favorite study books, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, to dive deep together. We will work on building a solid foundation for not only a fruitful creative practice, but a creative LIFE. We will root out the mindset shifts that need to happen to discover and recover your creative self, once and for all.
Details for the event:
We will be meeting in-person at the Persika Design Co. Studio and Gallery in Bay View, WI and we will be studying one of my favorite books on living and practicing a creative life, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron together.
We will break up the book’s 12 lessons into 13 biweekly sessions on the first and third Wednesday of every month starting on March 20th and finishing with a big ol’ party on September 25th.
If you purchase all 13 sessions at once, you will get a 20% discount and your very own copy of the book included. (This roughs out to $28 per class compared to $35 when purchased individually.)
If you would prefer to drop-in to classes as your schedule allows or when the topic particularly piques your interest, you can purchase classes individually and you will need to buy the book separately to study along.
Each class will focus on check-ins as we go through the book, creative activities that further enhance the lessons, and relational accountability *No matter your artistic or creative discipline.
every meeting will include:
Check-ins to keep you accountable to achieving your goals
Mini Workshop/Creative exercise
space to build friendships and create community
Drinks, Snacks and a Guaranteed good time
“For Writers , Poets, Actors, Painters, Musicians and Creative People in All Walks of Life, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is an empowering book for aspiring and working artists.”
