No matter the path of our creative journey, a “beginner’s mind” is our starting place.

In our time together our sketchbooks will become a place to play and experiment. Using a wide variety of mixed media supplies and techniques we will explore mark-making, shape and color, collage, small grid compositions, and Gelli printing. Participants will be encouraged to experiment, have fun, and see what happens.

This class is part of our Spring Sacred Arts week, facilitated by Scott Burnett and Laurie Rudel. Springtime at the Grunewald Guild is a season of gentle stirring, inside and out. Creation and creativity awaken to familiar, yet always surprising, newness. Spring Sacred Arts Week is designed and refined with these rhythms and stirrings in mind.
