An invitation to experience the present moment through exploration of places in and around Paris, spontaneous art making & expression of unique intuitive creativity.
Let’s explore Paris and its surroundings in an artsy, creative way with all our senses and unique sensibility Let's take it all in, let's feel the places, let's feel the moment. Let's connect with people, and ourselves!
Let's feel alive.
Let's wonder, analyze, get inspired, take photos, reveal marks, make sketches, take notes, write poems, collect things… Let's open up to allow inspiration to find us.
And then let's make ART!
Let's transform our treasures, impressions and collected material into a (or several) work(s) of art, with the same intuitive, spontaneous, playful state of mind. Let's become the adventurers, the explorers we were as children before “stuff” was layered on our souls. Let’s become our truest self.
Everything is possible, everything is permitted.
We may create in places or in the studio which is equipped for all kind of techniques, such as:
· textile art: felting, embroidery, textile collages, wrapping techniques, dyeing...
· painting
· mixed media art: paper collage, printing, stamping, gelli plate explorations, transfer techniques, working with wire & metal, gluing....
· enameling on copper
· cyanotype (sun printing)
No pre-established idea of the art we'll make!
Let's live the experience and discover what our bodies, souls and minds want / need to express. You will see how much more is in you, when you let go, when you feel, instead of think. You will learn about you and your place in this world!
This workshop-retreat is about well-being, connection, art & life and freedom!
