“No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.”
― Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way

I'm so thrilled to be hosting a creative cluster book club for Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way. This book has helped me more than I can say in my creative journey, but it's been a few years and I had at least ten things happen right in a row that pointed me to take this journey again, I'd love for you to come with me! The Artist's Way is an invaluable guide to living the creative life, it is a 12-week immersive creativity course that takes about 2-3 hours a week. Creativity can come in many forms (painter, parent, writer, chef, ideation, sketching, spouse, singer, et al.).

This is a group discussion style workshop. I am not your teacher or your guru, I'm simply facilitating the discussion! Julia specifically asks us not to "teach" this book to anyone, but to be part of it with the group (which she lovingly calls "creative clusters". I'll be exploring, sharing and learning again right alongside you. The more you bring to the discussion the more you will get out of this, very literally, life-changing journey. Morning pages and artist dates are at the core of the program and help us connect to creativity in it's purest form as a divine source. 

This book is spiritual in nature and uses the word God, but as Julia explains to us you can call whatever that source is to you by whatever name feels right for you to call it.

You will need the book which can be found on Amazon or Kindle! (More details about the different versions can be found in the classroom, which you will get instant access to).

From Julia:

• Stop telling  yourself, "It's too late."
• Stop waiting until you make enough money to do something you'd really love.
• Stop telling yourself "It's just my ego" whenever you yearn for a more creative life
• Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
• Stop fearing that your family and friends would think you crazy
• Stop telling yourself that creativity is a luxury and that you should be grateful for what you've got. 

As you Learn to recognize, nurture and protect your inner artist, you will be able to move beyond pain and creative constriction. You will learn ways to recognize and resolve fear, remove emotional scar tissue and strengthen your confidence. Damaging old ideas about creativity will be explored and discarded. Working with this book, you will experience an intensive, guided encounter with your own creativity--your private villains, champions, wishes, fears, dreams, hopes, and triumphs. The experience will make you excited, depressed, angry, afraid, joyous, hopeful, and, ultimately, more FREE.

This class is for scaredy cats who want to learn tangible MIXED-MEDIA art journaling! 

TThis is a self-study course that you will have lifetime access to.

Have you ever said?
I'm scared! Is it Messy?
What is mixed-media?
I'm doing it wrong!
I don't understand, what is it?
Help me, I want to play!
I don't know where to start!
I'm not that creative!
I'm not a "real" artist!

I've heard it all in the last 8 years, and I truly believe that I can help you get over all your fears (or at least learn to be best friends with them)!

Join me as we learn the very basics of mixed-media with tangible supplies! 

This class is going to be BASIC but not BARE! I'm going to spoil you beyond belief, and hopefully, when you graduate you'll feel empowered to make mixed-media art a process and jump in with two feet.
You'll receive:

• Introduction to Mixed-Media (Vlog style video)
• Supplies overview & discussion on why "more supplies" is not always better (You'll see my favorite supplies in action)
• 3 "Warm up" videos to get you started
• 3 Step-by-step video tutorials of tangible mixed-media art journal pages by Tangie
• $30 Coupon to my Collage Sheet Shop to start your very own collage sheet collection!
• 1- "Live" webinar where Tangie will demo in real time, answering your questions! It will be recorded (so if you can't make it don't worry)
• Art journaling ideas prompts and challenges
• Other activities to help you go from "Mixed-Media Scaredy Cat" to "Cool Cat" in no time!

What supplies will I need to participate in this class? More details will be available to you in the classroom right after purchase but the following is the very basics of what you will need:

• A substrate (such as a journal or watercolor paper sheets)
• A glue stick
• Several pens/pencils of your choice
• Watercolor (ANY will work, even Crayola)
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Collage fodder (such as collage sheets, junk mail, magazines, etc.)

It's one thing to chose NOT to do mixed-media because you've tried it and it's not for you...
But it's NOT okay to be scared and never discover for yourself what it has to offer you (it's not as messy as you might think).
Come, discover, play and be brave, you may just find a part of yourself you never knew needed to be set free.

Want a few more details?

• This class will be released over the span of a week, but you can work at your own pace (everything you need will be downloadable/watchable in the classroom)
• This class takes place off-site in a private classroom, offering you an amazing state of the art classroom experience
• You will get a PDF in your downloads after purchase with your unique student ID and link to the classroom-you must access this PDF to get access to the classroom the first time
• Lifetime Access to the classroom to work at your own pace  (it never expires as long as I'm teaching)

So hear this rally cry scaredy cats! I'm here for you, let's do this thing! I promise to be there every step of the way.
