Warm and Cozy Studio Time.
Hello Kindling Community,
Check out this creation from a kid in one of my No School Day Art Play sessions who was building his ideal home. He really has his priorities straight, huh?
Though I can’t offer you a hot tub, I can offer you a cozy and super warm studio (it gets the BEST sunlight for a heat boost). In this lovely space, we can practice trusting our own ideas, making our own choices, playing, and working together. These ways of being build confidence, agency, creative thinking, and belonging, all of which we need in heaps right now.
Sending love,
What’s coming up?
Saturday Morning Community Art
This month let’s remember we are free to play and free to be. I’ll set up some stations including printmaking, a collaborative weaving, watercolor, and our ever-popular bead soup. (iykyk)
