Self-Care for the Soul: Watercolor String Painting - IN-PERSON CLASS

Discover a fun and easy process for your self-care painting practice using string, india ink and watercolor.
About this Event

This practice can be used thousands of times with a different result each time. Kind of like snowflakes, no two images will ever look the same. We'll start off with a demonstration and then move into a short centering meditation, followed by art making, writing and a little bit of movement. We'll close by witnessing and sharing our work.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring an apron if you have one. This is not necessary, but india ink is permanent so you may want to protect your clothing. Also, feel free to bring an art journal or regular journal if you have one!

Please note: No previous art experience is necessary.

About the teacher:

Cat Thomas, MAT is an Artist & Expressive Arts Facilitator based out of Chattanooga, TN. 15 years ago, Cat intuitively began using art and writing as a therapeutic tool in her personal life. Once she experienced the true potential art has to heal the mind, body & spirit, Cat enrolled in the Expressive Arts Florida Institute in Sarasota, FL. After taking a weekend long intensive there, she knew her purpose was not only to create her own art, but to increase individual and community health & wellness by using the arts as a tool for healing, personal growth & self-discovery.

Since finishing her training in 2015, Cat has worked with 1000’s of people helping them connect with their creative selves so they may gain the therapeutic benefits of doing something creative. From working as an Artist in Residence at cancer center for close to 10 years to partnering with a local community to create a collaborative neighborhood street mural, Cat enjoys working with a variety of populations, and truly believes that when given the opportunity to create in a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space people can transform their lives from the inside out.

Please note: Cat is not a licensed or credentialed art therapist.
