$41.75 - $41.75 including fees
Title: Illustrating, Collaging, and Scribing your Soapbox
With instructor: Kelly Leibold
Date: Saturday, Feb 6, 2026,
Time: 1:00 - 3:00 PM (Arrive 5-10 min early for check in)
Price: $40 (handling fee applied at checkout)
For all ages, no experience necessary
For those of us creatively inclined but lacking the inspiration--or often motivation--to dive into projects, this class will help you craft your gameplan. In order to develop their soapbox, attendees will start with a guided group discussion and spend time compiling reference material. Everyone leaves with individual reflections, hopefully some rad sketches, and new community connections!
Itinerary:
(15 mins) attention getter "tea with friends/ third space" anecdote, then round robin icebreaker introductions
(5 mins) briefly 4 pillars of Kelly's soapbox--bandwidth, cringe, belonging, resiliency--then distribute zine copies and composition notebooks
(background instrumental music, 10-20 minutes) individual time to complete reflection worksheet--identity mapping with listening audit--then pair up for review
(20-40 minutes) browse through magazine stacks for reference material (sketches/ collages) to begin art projects
(final 10 minutes) pair back up with accountability buddy, favorite takeaways (soapbox values? aesthetic/ examples? etc)
Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop if they'd like to focus more of the workshop time on writing, otherwise supplies are provided for drawing/ sketching/ outlining sources of inspiration and reference material
About the instructor:
Kelly Leibold navigates the world as a brain cancer survivor and balances many competing priorities while still finding time to sporadically vend artwork at the local Farmers Market. Kelly is a competent communicator and effective liason thanks to her involvement with Toastmasters and holding elected office; in her free time Kelly enjoys browsing thrift stores and yard sales.
All levels of Pump House are wheelchair/walker friendly and accessible by elevator.
