Join me at Central Creatives @ Piano Works for a little Saturday morning play time! This month we'll play with words and some collaborative writing. This is just a little time to let loose - no writing or art experience necessary. ** Save the date for Saturday, January 8th, 2022! I'm teaming up with artist Lisa Robinson for a workshop we're calling Words & Watercolors!

But imagine the possibilities if you could tell yourself a different story! In this session, we'll use reflective writing prompts and fun exercises rooted in the improv principle of “Yes And” to silence the inner critic and turn those self-limiting statements upside down. As you prepare to ring in the New Year, it's time to write a new story about your creative journey - and yourself! This is one of my most popular workshops and my favorite to facilitate. ** Click HERE to register for this workshop. ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * HOLIDAY SHOP HOP Tuesdays, December 14 & 21, 2021 Join the artists at Central Creatives for a pop up holiday shop hop!
