Creative Process:
  • Offers creative adventure and process
  • Encourages spontaneous self-expression
  • Respects each child's individual needs
  • Removes the pressure of performing
The studio offers a safe context free of comparison or criticism. Children learn to trust, express the richness of their world, and respond to the "Silly Monkey Critic."
The basic principles of our work offers:
  • Creativity as play, adventure and self-expression
  • Intuition and spontaneity as the fuel and fire of creation
  • Creativity as a tool to enhance children's lives

  • ~Ongoing for ages 9 to senior in H.S. ~varied age appropriate projects using Creative Process or we can help with your own projects or art homework.

Intuitive Painting: Self Discovery
"Getting Back to Your Creative Self"
During this workshop will liberate the participants from conventional concepts of art making, and offer an opportunity to begin to fully trust their own innate ability to find joy, connection and release through the creative process. You will discover what keeps you disconnected to your intuitive source of creativity. A fun and rewarding experience for teens and adults, artists and non-artists alike.
This is a wonderful workshop for couples or teens and parents.
*This workshop can also be scheduled any time,
                 for private groups or families at a discount.
Always free to those in treatment for cancer
      and Faye's Light clients.

Prayer Bead Workshop
For thousands of years, across every continent, our ancestors have been making beads, and stringing them together for meditative purposes. Commonly known as Mala, Rosery, Zulu Beads, and many other such affections, they are believed to have the power to carry prayer and intention. As you meditate on the intended purpose for your beadwork, every bead on you string will become enchanted with the intention of it’s creator, You. Learn about the history of this beautiful craft. Make your own personal string of prayer beads with a variety of glass, wood, and real gemstone beads, as you relax, meditate, or sit in prayer. This will be a gift to yourself  or for another in need of your prayers. Laughter and sharing is also encouraged.
