Services
The studio offers classes and creative practices using a variety of mediums, including paint, clay, dance, and poetry. Classes and offerings span:
- Painting
- Mixed media
- Sounding
- Movement
- Drawing
- Writing
The studio’s work is organized around several core practices:
- Play and Playing, described as “fooling around, daydreaming, trying this and that,” approached as an attitude and a way of being
- Intuitive Artmaking, which reconnects participants with their creative source through meditation, movement, poetry, and playful exploration before creating art
- Authentic Movement, described as “moving and being moved,” with expression and meaning unfolding without interference from the conditioned mind
- Sound and Sound Journey, which explores “the power and beauty of the voice when it is given space to move freely, without judgment”
The studio draws on multiple mediums and processes, and describes its intuitive artmaking practice as reconnecting participants with their creative source through meditation, movement, poetry, and playful exploration before they begin to create. Its sound and movement practices are presented as ways to explore voice and embodied expression without judgment. Together, these offerings are framed around restoring playful artistic impulses and honoring each participant’s unique voice rather than producing a particular finished result.
