FREE online Creative Retreat weekend: Make Create Express

I’m happy to finally get to share that I’m one of the 27 teachers for the Make Create Express workshop this year!

Over the last couple of years, I’ve said ‘no’ to most invitations for collaborative programs, webinars and such, but there was no way I could say anything but YES to this one for 2019, because I know what an incredible job Galia Alena does coordinating and hosting creative courses over at Art Is Magic.

The complete Make Create Express experience is actually a year long creative adventure which kicks off with the Free Creative Retreat weekend.

That weekend, you will have access to enjoy and explore 27 lessons for your mixed-media Creative Practice - totally free.

If you can’t make it that weekend, or would like to enjoy a year of goodness with 27 additional lessons, you can opt-in for the Ongoing Creative Journey.

Check out this sweet video Galia put together to get us excited (I know it makes me want to paint!):

It’s even more exciting when you see the full line-up of teachers from around the world, and the different lessons they’ve been cooking up to share for your art journaling, mixed-media or creative practice.

Here is this year’s teacher/artist collective…

Of course we want you to come play and connect with us for the whole year if you like, but make sure you treat yourself and at least join us for the free retreat. Because, FREE!

My lesson for the free retreat is called LandShapes - and includes 4 guided Creative Practices, inspired by landscapes, shapes, color, and contemplations on connecting with the land and making space come to life on the page through how we see, experiment and express with our materials and basic art element ideas.

My second lesson, in the ongoing retreat, is DreamScapes, where we create a painted world (or art journal spread) from start to finish, incorporating ideas we explored in LandShapes with an intuitive and process-oriented journey that will lead us somewhere we can’t predict.

You can read the full description about my lessons over at the Free retreat sign-up page, with all the details about the other teacher’s lessons, too:

Please share and tell all your creative friends about the free offering, especially those who don’t yet know how wonderfully creative they are or who may be feeling a bit creatively dry.

This could be just the thing they need to look forward to and put a little spark back into their Creative Spirit self-care and practice.

It’s going to be packed with creative inspiration and fun - I hope to see you there!
