Creativity Development & Expression in a Supportive, Non-Judgmental Environment
Art workshops at Mountain Creative Arts Counseling are designed for those who wish they were more creative, and desire the time, space, and permission to explore their creativity regardless of what their (internal or external) critics tell them. I make the projects fun and accessible for the non-artist as well as educational for those with some art experience.
When was the last time you did something creative?
These workshops are designed to inspire creativity. I will gently guide you through each step, as you learn new techniques, experiment, and complete a project, in a safe, supportive environment.
“Inner Calm During Outer Storms” Art Therapy Workshop
Monday, December 16th, 2024
4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
This workshop is designed to encourage creative play, self-care, emotional expression, and connection with self and others.
We will start with an opening check-in, a brief art warm-up exercise, open art-making time (connected to the theme), and a closing circle for sharing our art.
No art experience is required!
The focus is on the process, exploration, discovery, and play.
Like all art-making, this Art Therapy Workshop may be therapeutic, but it is not a substitute for therapy. Privacy in the Art Place Studio classroom is not guaranteed. We ask that all attendees keep confidentiality: Don’t share other group members’ stories or personal information without express permission. You are welcome to share your experiences and insights using “I-statements,” but refrain from advice-giving or problem-solving for others unless specifically requested.
Bring your willingness to play, and your desire to connect and share!
All supplies are provided!

- “I appreciate the masterful job you did with planning and preparation. The whole workshop gave such a sense of being carefully designed and thoughtfully set up — with delightful materials: art supplies bountiful but not overwhelming, decorated and encouraging individual packets of goodies… It seems you thought of everything, right down to that tiny envelope for our message to ourselves. It was all so inviting and pleasing.”
