About this Event
In this beginner friendly workshop, we'll experiment with watercolours and other complementary mediums as a form of meditation and creative expression.
We'll learn techniques you can use to produce beautiful abstracts and floral paintings. While the focus is on enjoying the process and building an art practice as a form of self-care, students will also be making beautiful expressive work they can display, give away, use for cards, notebook covers and more.
No experience or supplies necessary. Just bring your imagination and enthusiasm!
As well, we'll talk about ways to integrate your art practice into your daily life as a means of self care.
This would not be complete if we didn't address mindset. This workshop is a judgement-free zone and we'll talk about how to quiet that talkative inner critic who may have opinions about your art journey.
*All art supplies will be provided, including a wide selection of professional quality paints, markers, gel pens and more. This will give you a chance to play with supplies and decide which you like best before investing in your own.
This workshop is perfect for you if:
- You have an itch to create but don't know where to start.
- You have some art experience and want to expand your horizons.
- You like to doodle or colour in adult colouring books and want to take things to the next level.
- You like the idea of art as a meditative practice.
*Just a note that this workshop is not art therapy. It is about developing an art practice as a means of meditation and self care.

A note from Laura-Jean:
I discovered the healing powers of art for myself as I dealt with a challenging time several years ago.
Working on art kept me grounded, focused on something positive and able to keep my head above water despite everything I had to deal with. I know I would have had a much harder time without my art practice to escape to.
It became my passion to help other people experience this kind of healing, so I started offering workshops!
