About this Event


The focus for this particular session will be mark-making with THREAD, into both paper and fabric.

______________________________

In this workshop we will be exploring repetitive mark-making as a creative care practice. We'll chat about understanding and approaching art-making as a creative care practice ...something that we repeat, something that we reach for and bring into our lives as wee bits of soothing balm. Some reprieve from the ALL-ness of it all. Some space to gather and ground ourselves, so that we don't get stuck in the overwhelm. Space and practices to nourish, strengthen, and empower ourselves.

We'll explore art-making as a sensory experience ...how does it FEEL to be in a body that's making art ...making marks. Our focus will be on simple processes, that we repeat.

We'll also chat about some logistics around building (and maintaining) an ongoing creative care practice of your own (solo and/or in community).


NO experience with art or art-making is required to attend.

  • All art materials are provided.
  • Tea is provided!
  • Please arrive on time! (or about 5 minutes early, even better!)
  • Accessibility: The studio itself is fully accessible, but the onsite washroom is unfortunately NOT (it's located in the loft area, with several stairs in-between).
  • Health Guidelines: There is an air purifier in the studio, and the door can be propped open for extra ventilation. I won't be requiring masks, but absolutely support your choice to wear one.

Please do NOT attend if you are ill.

If you would prefer to pay by e-transfer (rather than through Eventbrite), please first get in touch with me to see if there's still space in the group ([email protected]) ...if yes, I'll send you the total with taxes added, and you can go ahead and send the transfer (send e-transfers to Shauna Kaendo/[email protected]).

NOTES ABOUT GROUPS IN GENERAL
  • If you’d like a visual glimpse into what we get up to in my workshops/groups please visit me on Instagram (@heyheyshauna), or at www.heyshauna.com
  • You needn’t have ANY experience with art or art materials to participate (and benefit from) any of my workshops.
  • Groups are small, they are also generous, warm, and supportive... and easily among my favourite things.
  • In all of my workshops, our focus is on exploring different art materials in lots of different ways …and noticing how those different materials and processes make us feel. And while I am here for any technical assistance you may need, our goal is not to focus on technical skill…but instead on curiosity.
