SUMMARY:The Artist's Way 6-Week Zoom Class
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Sharon J. Burton\nDate/Time: Sundays from 2-4pm\, March 5-April 16\, 2023 (skip April 9)\nCost: $250 Del Ray Artisans member / $300 Non-member\nSupplies: Students should purchase their own copy of the book\nClass size: 4-12 participants\n(Register by midnight on March 1) \nThe Artist’s Way\, written by the brilliant Julia Cameron\, is designed to help kickstart a creative life. It’s a wonderful course for aspiring writers\, but also for dancers\, cooks\, lawyers\, teachers\, computer programmers\, illustrators\, parents\, welders and anyone else looking to live a more well-rounded life. \nOver the course of six weeks\, we will be guided step by step through Cameron’s creative process. The book is divided into 12 chapters. Each week we’ll read two chapters to work through the exercises on our own\, then meet the following Sunday for group discussion. These group meetings are powerful and healing…helping to shed our fears and blocks to our creativity and creative practice. \nYou will learn the power of two tools for creativity: \n\nThe daily Morning Pages – Three stream of consciousness written journal pages that empty your head and heart of everything on your mind before starting the day.\nThe weekly Artist’s Date – A once-weekly solo expedition to do something that enchants or interests you.\n\nWhat you can expect from our 6 weeks together: \n\nLearn to recognize\, nurture and protect your inner artist.\nClarify your heart’s creative dreams\, as we arrive at clarity\, we create change.\nGain freedom from the constant demand for more validity outside ourselves and examine the idea that money concerns are the ultimate creative block.\nArt is not about thinking something up. It’s the opposite: it’s about getting something down. Instead of reaching for inventions\, we learn to listen.\nBlocked artists are not lazy\, they’re blocked. Procrastination is not laziness\, it’s fear. The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist at all. This week\, you will learn tools that involve taking creative risks\, and these small risks teach you the courage that it takes to create.\nAs an artist\, self-respect comes from doing the work. Artists do not need to be rich\, only richly supported. We kill parts of ourselves when we fail to nurture the artist within.\n\nThe course will be held online via Zoom on Sundays from 2-4pm\, starting March 5 through April 16\, 2023. (April 9th skipped due to Easter.) Participants will need to purchase their own copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

Instructor Meredith D’Amore will demonstrate plate-making techniques with recycled packaging materials as well as how to ink plates to achieve different results without the need for a press. Students will create their own collagraphs and discuss ways to reduce the ecological footprint of our artmaking as we explore ways to make prints with what we already have. \nStudents are asked to pay a $5 supply fee for shared materials used in the workshop.
