Explore the world of chairs in a way that goes beyond the physical form, tapping into the artistic, cultural, and personal narratives they hold.

Beginning with an intimate glimpse into the world of Van Gogh as well as his relationship with the artist Paul Gaughin, we will explore how Vincent’s painted chairs (and chairs historically) have inspired artists, artisans and people throughout time.

We’ll take a look at therapeutic “chair practices” across different mediums and what they have meant to various peoples around the world as well as how to incorporate these techniques into your everyday writing, drawing and mindfulness practice.

Expect fun and innovative techniques, captivating stories and fascinating themes designed to inform and inspire your own everyday artistic practice.

No drawing or writing experience is necessary! The focus will be on guided exercises and contemplative practices inspired by the world of Van Gogh, but all forms of creativity are welcomed.

Are you looking for ways to relax, quiet your mind and inspire creative flow?

I will guide you through a short mindfulness practices before we settle into a relaxing, meditative, drawing session. We will focus on breathing and present moment awareness to create more ease and calm in the mind and body. No meditation or mindfulness experience is necessary.

These mindfulness practices are simple and accessible for everyone.

This online workshop is suitable for ALL LEVELS – However, please get in touch with me if you have any questions about what to expect.
