Break Out of the Box – Guidance Idea Building

This is a hangout session for the artist who is looking to try something new, create a fresh approach to what they are already doing, try new things, or just to loosen up and have fun. Perhaps you are looking for guidance on how to use supplies that are already in your tool box, and learn new ways to think about your approach to materials. Maybe you want to change gears by using unfamiliar materials and would like some one on one insight on how to do that. Trina comes with ten plus years in art material sales and exploration. She loves to experiment with materials and bounce ideas around. Need a person to set up project ideas to get you playing again, thinking in a different way, remembering that play is work and how to make it work? You bring your supplies and Trina provides the coaching you need. The number of sessions are up to you, you decide how many you need to get the creativity flowing.
