Relaxing Creativity with Christine Hennebury, Creativity Coach
Monday, April 21
8:00 PM
The Annex
Free drop-in event
Interested in expressing your creativity in a relaxed setting? Join us at the Annex on Monday, April 21 at 8:00 pm.
Here’s how Christine describes this session:
I’m calling this a workshop but really we’re going to be playing around with the creative process and finding ways to relax.
I’ve got a few teeny projects for you to try and I’m hoping you’ll be willing to be awful at each of them.
Yes, I am encouraging you to be bad at art.
Why?
Because this workshop is about the process, not about the results.
We’re not trying to create a beautiful piece of art, we’re going to play with paint or paper or words and just find some ease for a few minutes.
Picture a little kid lying on their stomach, tongue stuck out of the corner of their mouth as they concentrate, scrawling away at a piece of paper with a crayon – that’s the kind of feeling we’re going for.
You don’t have to be GOOD, you just have to BE.
Bonus points if you make a mess of things.
All supplies will be provided and no one will be put on the spot at any point about anything.
