This is for anyone who has felt or been made to feel that making art is something you need to do perfectly - IT IS NOT.
Creating is what we humans we do and shame has no place in connecting with people and places and ourselves.
Making Art 101 is an active and engaging exploration of oneself, a meditation. This particular form is about exploring oneself and the contemporary landscape of art through the meditation of exploring oneself through making art. Through the lens of my work as an artist, an activist and years of making art/ art meditating, I have created a format to support participants in their journey.
No prior experience necessary and bring all your experiences - seemingly related or not!
