Creativity Break Workshops

There's an exciting line-up of Fall 2008 Classes - including new classes like Encrustations and Printing with Junk!  There's also new locations.  DIY Lounge at Collage now has a location in SE Portland on Woodstock and I've been invited to teach at Bodacious Beads in Hillsboro, bringing the crafty goodness to the Westside.   Scroll down for a summary, or click on the class in the menu on the left for more information!  Not all classes are offered each season.

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 through DIY Lounge at Collage, and I'm always adding new workshops and investigating new locations.  I also love to travel, so feel free to contact me if you have a venue in another city where you'd like to see these classes offered!
