Catching Glimmers: Ignite Your Creative Spark Workshop

Contact Jenn to register

Description: Unlock your creativity and begin discovering your unique artistic voice with this workshop emphasizing the joy of making art and personal expression. Combining self-care, learning, and creative practice, the focus is not on producing a finished piece, but on the process itself. Through a series of experimental activities, you will learn to quiet your inner critic, embrace playfulness, and feel more comfortable taking creative risks. While many art classes focus on technical skills and techniques, this workshop emphasizes creative confidence and is an opportunity to deepen your connection to yourself as an artist and to create with greater freedom, curiosity, and ease.

Jenn’s workshops blend mindfulness, nature connection, and body awareness to help participants reconnect with their creativity and artistic expression. Through engaging, hands-on exercises, participants are invited to relax, explore, and enjoy the creative process in a supportive and welcoming environment. Jenn’s approach encourages self-discovery, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of both oneself and one’s artistic practice. Artists of all experience levels are welcome, and everyone is encouraged to explore freely in a non-judgmental space.

Audience: 13+ | Participants aged 8-12 are required to attend with an adult who is registered and has paid for the workshop.

Level of Experience: All levels of experience are welcome.
