Are you like me – looking for a muse? Your next idea? Do you wish for the chance to re-think your process? Or do you just want a new point of view?

In this workshop participants will start with exercises to help excite new thematic ‘threads’ – perhaps imagery or color palette that will be developed throughout the day using Ingrid’s amazing bundle of materials and processes. You may be encouraged to write a little, but mostly we’ll be making images in journals or on paper using paint, collage, print, and more. And we’ll be looking at ideas from many different angles.

Artist, poet, gardener, chef – this class will be exciting for anyone and any level!! Participants are welcome to bring materials and ephemera, but Ingrid will provide all the basic materials for the class.

Bring a journal or sketchbook of your size and shape preference. Paper should be suitable for both wet and dry media. Bring a bag lunch. All snacks and drinks provided.
