Play with paint! Come visit our lab and experiment with paint and found objects! It's chill — we're getting our hands dirty, appreciating color and texture, and maybe even expressing ourselves. There are no expectations — we'll be enjoying the process with no attachment to the outcome. $35 all materials included. Make a joyful mess! Make friends. Hang out at ART House 360.

Did you know that experiencing the arts changes the wiring of our brains? In this class, we'll get in touch with our wiring by setting an intention, expressing it with some scribbling (because play is great for the brain, too!), and softening the sharp bits (visually and metaphorically) with new lines and color. Another thing that's great for the brain is being in community with others! So join us in our beautiful and calming art studio and connect with other brains through creativity. $29 per person. All materials included. Just bring your brain.

In this unique workshop, Julie will hold space and offer guidance for us to connect to our creative innards, trust our inherent creativity, and gently lay aside our doubts. Beginning with a circle and brief check-in, followed by a guided meditation, we will then move into creating visual art. We'll be prompted to do some writing, asking, "What does my art want to communicate to me?" We will then return to our circle and have the opportunity to share and witness each other's work and experiences. While this is a structure that Julie will follow, there is no requirement to do any of the prompts. You may arrive and feel like gently swaying, or a desire to stare out the window, or write for the entire time. That is all ok and doesn’t diminish your place in the workshop. About Multi-Modal Expressive Art: Often, moving from one creative modality to another while holding the thread of curiosity can bring knowledge or coalescence. This creative practice allows our art to arrive, surrendering the need for it to look a certain way. It's an opportunity to explore a question, intention or an open curiosity through multiple creative modalities, like painting, writing, movement, sound making (including voice and instruments), fabric arts, collage, etc. About the Teaching Artist: Julie Plotkin received a masters degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Expressive Arts from Goddard College in Vermont in 2016. Since then she has maintained a personal expressive arts practice through the self study courses and online workshops at Expressive Arts Florida Institute. Julie has offered small gatherings to help explore the vitality and utility of creative practices. She is delighted to collaborate with Slate Blue Studios and ART House 360, and offer space for creative exploration. $69, all materials included
