About this Event
This 3 part artmaking series is the first of its kind in the Charleston area. It will introduce you to the concept of El Duende or “muse from the shadows” and provide a framework to explore artmaking as a tool for personal self-development. You will be gently guided by board certified art therapist and Licensed Professional Couselor, Dena Ewing. Each session will explore different materials including paint, collage and mixed media methods to develop layers of expression and personal insight. Bring a writing journal and a curious mind to this series and you will leave with an artmaking practice that you can revisit again and again to build intuition, unearth illuminating insights and discover personal truths.
