Workshop 5 – Carry Your Becoming: Embodied Canvas Story (May 2026)

Focus: Integration & Meaning — transforming your story into something you can touch, hold, and carry with you.

Description:

This workshop invites you to translate your creative journey into a tactile form that reflects your growth and self-discovery.

Using a blank canvas tote as your base, you’ll layer fabric paint, collage, and meaningful textures to create a personal

visual story. You’ll be encouraged to bring found objects or small items that hold significance, things that represent

memories, affirmations, or parts of your becoming.

You’ll explore ways to attach, layer, and express through color and texture. There’s no expectation of outcome, this is

about process, play, and meaning. By the end, you’ll have something that feels deeply personal: a piece that walks beside

you in your daily life and reminds you of who you are becoming.

What You’ll Experience:

• A supportive space to connect your creative journey with your everyday life

• Exploration of texture, symbolism, and storytelling through mixed materials

• Permission to create intuitively and meaningfully without pressure or perfection

Techniques: fabric painting, layering, collage application, optional hand-stitching or embellishment, intuitive composition.

Surface: blank canvas tote bag (recommended large grocery size or larger).

Materials: please bring your own tote bag and a selection of small items or fabrics that hold personal meaning. All shared

materials such as paint and adhesives will be provided. A list of recommended materials and links will be sent ahead of

class.
