Workshop 1 – Begin Again: Self-Portrait Vision Board (January 2026)

Focus: Reflection & Intention — a gentle invitation to return to your creative self and set intentions for the season ahead.

Description: This workshop offers a quiet space to begin again, to reconnect with yourself through mindful artmaking. Together, we’ll

use collage, marks, and texture to explore what feels present in your life right now and what might be ready to grow.

You’ll be guided through techniques and prompts, but the process is yours to follow. There’s no right or wrong way to

create here. What matters is showing up, listening, and allowing what wants to emerge to find its way onto your surface.

What You’ll Experience:

• A welcoming space to slow down and listen inwardly

• Playful exploration with materials and color without pressure to perform

• Connection with a creative process that honors where you are in this moment

Techniques: collage composition, mark-making warm-ups, stencil layering, intuitive layout.

Surface: Wood panel (approximately 11 × 14 inches) or another sturdy hard surface.

Materials: please bring your own collage and art supplies that inspire you — for example, personal photos, meaningful

words, magazines, glue, brushes, and paint. A list of recommended materials with links will be provided ahead of class to

make preparation easier.
