There’s no reason to be alone while you make. Be in the moment, share your observations of your environment, of your own process, and learn by doing. A social and positive attitude towards exploration, without concern for failure is a contagious recipe for satisfaction and enjoyment. Consider what’s possible if let yourself play.
In Creative Dive workshops, we experiment with a variety of media in order to allow the innocence and unimpaired enthusiasm of the novice. We play and explore in a social and supportive context.
Workshop participants will get a 10% discount on any purchase made in the gallery on the day of the workshop.

Self Portrait in Blackwork Embroidery and Ink Drawing
Sunday, August 12, 10:15 am – 1 pm

We will face ourselves in the mirror and transfer a self-portrait from vellum to fabric, and begin to explore the disconnect and process of translation between what we put in two dimensions in ink and stitching, and what we see in the mirror.

Visualizing Our Relationships
Sunday, August 19 10:15 am – 1 pm
$45 per session (materials provided)
What do the different people in your life make you feel? We will explore our senses as they describe a few magnetic relationships
in our lives. Using symbol, texture, collage and mixed media, we will aim to create a surrealistic visualization. A short free-writing session will kick off the brainstorm by pinpointing key attributes or qualities of our relationships with those people. Option to work on several images at once, shifting between them and exploring different techniques.

Metamorphoses and Transformation, Pictured through Movement, Silhouette and Progressive Imagery.
Exploring the power of liminality and a lapse in selfhood. 
Sunday, August 26, 10:15 am – 1 pm
$45 per session (materials included)
When do you feel like yourself? And when do you feel parts slip away? Following a guided partner discussion of a current life transition, we will picture ourselves in motion towards a future realization.
Liminal spaces are rites of passage. Dissociation can feel like a waking dream or a memory gap. Using Polaroids for reference, partners coupled during class will photograph themselves with whole body movement and fabric in motion to describe ourselves in a transition in our lives as they are right now. Cutout, colored paper, and collage will complete our image(s) of this transition.
