Creativity Break Workshops

Creativity Break Workshops are designed for folks who want to take a little break from their everyday lives to explore a different aspect of their creativity.  Full time oil painters can try making jewelry; health-care workers can do a little collage; CEO's can make shrines.  It's hard to take the time to do these things on our own - I know teaching the classes helps keep my own creative juices flowing and I hope it does so for you.
 
Certainly each class teaches techniques and skills, and at the same time, is designed to allow for discovery and experimentation.  I want to help you accomplish what you want to accomplish - whether that's making a small gift or finally learning how to use Paintstiks or just having an evening off to play. 

I regularly offer Creativity Break workshops at my home studio, Hearth, in SE Portland, OR.  The studio is located on SE 119th between Powell and Division, with easy access by car from I-205 or I-84, by bike from a nearby Max Station or the Springwater Corridor Trail, or by bus from either the Powell or Division lines.  As this is my private home, the exact address will be given only at registration.

I'm always adding new workshops and investigating new locations.  I also love to travel, and have taught at national art retreats like Art Unraveled in Arizona.  So feel free to contact me if you have a venue in Portland or another city where you'd like to see classes offered!
