The Artist's Way - Workshop

The Artist's Way - a new Thursday evening class is opening with an eye towards cultivating your creativity - Judith Martin-Straw will be facilitating The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. This ten week class will be using the popular workbook The Artist's Way, so you are encouraged to get a copy and give it a look to see if you would be interested in taking this on with a group of like minded adventurers. It is a closed class, so you'll need to sign up before we begin. Judith has done the class as a student and a teacher on multiple occasions, and loves using the workbook as a way to break through blocks and create fun.  Join us for a fresh perspective on art, creativity and the meaning of life (Really).
