DESCRIPTION
This is a course to help you recommit to your art and conquer project overwhelm. Teaching artist Michelle Hagewood has designed the workshop to help participants find clarity and follow-through, with techniques for focus, accountability, and plot-able steps towards your goals. Whether you’re a seasoned maker or you are just getting started in exploring your creative voice, the strategies are universal. We will welcome a diverse group of folks with varying access to time, space, and resources, and foster a supportive environment for finding what you personally need.
As a multi-disciplinary artist who faces overwhelm on a continual basis, Michelle Hagewood shares strategies that have helped her produce large solo shows, self-published books, short films, and simple daily practices.
Your goals might include (but not be limited to): creating a new body of work, a new creative business, an installation, a film, or a book. Or maybe your goal is just making it into the metaphorical or actual studio. We will start with the four-week timeline, and offer extension options if desired.
SUPPLY INFORMATION
Bring anything you are working on, including sketchbooks and materials you want to work with. Some materials are available.
