Instead of focusing on a particular final product or outcome resulting from a step-by step process of instructions, participants will be provided specialty materials to explore. Through prompts of curiosity and lessons on unconventional artistic methods, the focus will be on the process of creative expression through a shared willingness to experiment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants can rely on a set of consistent materials to work with in addition to rotational specialty mediums. Each workshop will introduce the materials through a warm-up exercise, followed by spaciousness to create freely (with support from the instructor to guide your creative process), and ending with the opportunity to share your artifacts with the group or see what others have made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis environment is suitable to all creative critters and requires no specific artistic background.
