Gathered Moments

There is a particular kind of quiet that happens when you stop to really look at a place. The way the light falls. The shape of a leaf you have walked past a hundred times. The smell of damp earth after rain.  

I've been excited to share our latest class, Gathered Moments, with Nicole Warrington for quite a while. 

This nature journaling class is an invitation to slow down and respond to the land around you, in drawings, monoprints, poetry, and watercolor. Nicole guides you through gathering what you notice on a walk, composing a visual story from what you collected, and closing with a small offering of gratitude. Three lessons that gently build on each other.

This is not a class that asks you to work faster or make more. It asks you to pay closer attention, and to let the land teach you its own language. Your journal becomes a record of a season, a mood, a morning.

One Page Wonders

Our first Live Creative Class of the year has arrived! One Page Wonders with Kiala Givehand is open for Early Registration.

Kiala has a rare gift for making you feel like creativity belongs to you. In this live creative class, Kiala will guide you through the art of transforming a single sheet of paper into three intimate, handmade book forms. Not precious objects. Companions. Small books for your sketches, your fragments of poetry, your morning symbols, your quiet discoveries.

You don’t need any experience with bookmaking. You don’t need to think of yourself as an artist. All you need is one sheet of paper and a willingness to see what happens when you fold it with intention.

Expanding Landscapes

There is something about the way Nikol approaches landscape that feels like a breath of fresh air. Loose. Intuitive. Layered with light. She paints in a way that captures atmosphere rather than detail, the feeling of standing in a place rather than simply copying what's there. It's the kind of freedom many of us wish we'd learned from the very beginning.

In this class, you'll move through five immersive projects, Blue Horizon, Daybreak, Moonlit Meander, Passing Time, and Morning Walk, each one gently building your confidence with abstraction, layering, and expressive mark-making. By the end, something shifts. You stop forcing the landscape and start feeling it.
