Creative Break

Take a Creative Break and join a welcoming community of art journalers for a two-hour exploration of intuitive mixed-media expression. In this process-focused workshop, you’ll experiment with a variety of materials—paint, collage, ink, and more—while learning to quiet your inner critic and embrace creativity as a meditative, confidence-building practice.

This isn’t about making “good” art—it’s about letting go, following your instincts, and making discoveries. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a total beginner, you’ll find encouragement to trust your process, explore freely, and develop a practice that nourishes creativity in daily life.

What's Included:

• Exploration of Materials: Discover a wide array of materials including paints, papers, markers, and other objects and learn how to incorporate them into your artwork.

• Techniques and Methods: Gain insight into different mixed media techniques such as layering, collage, and texture creation, enhancing your artistic repertoire.

• Personal Expression: Engage in exercises that encourage self-expression and experimentation, allowing you to develop your own artistic voice. There's no wrong way!

• Guided Prompts: Follow your instinct or use our gentle prompts to spark exploration and shift perspective.

• Safe Space: Create in a judgement-free space of free expression, collaboration and intuitive play.

Come as you are—no special materials or experience required. Bring a journal if you have one, but we’ll provide some guidance on this if you don’t have one. Held on Saturdays at Taborspace, Creative Break is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and make art in community.

Join the Class or Take the Creative Break Home

You can experience Creative Break in two ways:

• Join the class at Taborspace for full access to all materials, a supportive community, and guided exploration to help you deepen your creative practice.

• Get the Creative Break Box—a thoughtfully curated package with materials and prompts for self-guided play at home. Perfect if you prefer to explore solo or want to keep the creativity going between sessions.

Whichever path you choose, Creative Break is about making space for your creativity—your way!
