Mindful Mark-Making: B&W Patterns Workshop
Join art therapist, Kara Ashley-Gilmore, for a special session of Mindful Mark-Making. We will blend the 7 essential principles of mindfulness with intuitive art practices, using drawing and watercolors as tools for relaxation. You’ll be guided through a series of creative mark-making exercises and grounding techniques, culminating in an extended, meditative painting session.
During this month’s session, we will use black ink, black paper, and black and white mark-making tools to create simple abstract patterns on paper.
What’s Included in Your Session:
🧘♀️🌳 Opening Guided Meditation & Focused Grounding Exercises.
📘✨ The “Principles of Mindfulness for Art-Making” Takeaway Guide.
✍️〰️ Hands-on instruction for meditative mark-making.
🎨💖 An extended period of self-directed, meditative painting and creation.
🤝🗣️ A closing sharing circle for connection and reflection.
Absolutely no art experience is required! All supplies—including rich watercolor paints, drawing pens, and acrylic markers—are provided for your use. Just bring your willingness to play, and your desire to connect and share!
