                                                                          Tuition: $100 Materials Fee: $10 In this outdoor expressive arts workshop, participants will explore how movement, drawing, and writing can deepen their connection to the natural world. Through guided practices in contemplative movement, sensory awareness, and creative response, the class will investigate how the environment can serve as collaborator, mirror, and source of inspiration. Beginning with brief orientation, followed by warm-up drawing and reflective writing, participants will then move into guided mindful movement and sensory practices before engaging in solo explorations of the meadow and its more-than-human inhabitants. These experiences will be brought back into drawing and writing as tools for further discovery, play, and personal insight. The session will close with small-group reflection and a collective sharing circle. This session is accessible to all levels—no dance or art-making experience required. The emphasis is process-oriented, welcoming all abilities and encouraging a playful, exploratory mindset. Set entirely outdoors, participants are invited to wander, sit, lie down, and move freely on the ground.  Plan to bring: anything you need for comfort outside; layered clothing; a water bottle; snacks; personal writing tools; and drawing or simple painting supplies of your choice, including paper. Oil pastels, newsprint, and yoga mats will be provided.

Working with folding methods, color placement, and melt-based dye reactions, we’ll explore how ice dyeing differs from traditional immersion techniques and how unpredictability can lead to extraordinary results. Beginning with a short introduction to the ice-dye process, participants will look at examples and explore design possibilities. Participants will then practice folds and color layouts on paper before moving to fabric dyeing. We’ll end with a wash-out session and a small group showcase of the work created. Plan to bring: A notebook and colored pencils. One flag-sized piece of cotton will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring anything that is 100% cotton that they'd like to dye as well (t-shirts, pillow cases, etc.)

With decades of experience in “de-threatening” the art-making process this workshop offers that for participants. He hopes that you will leave at home any notions of departing Ox-Bow with something completed; instead, he will encourage you to start many things – written pieces, creative notions, seeds of ideas. He strives to create an instant community where conversation throughout the day is stimulating, a joy, and worthwhile. Plan to bring: Writing utensils and paper or notebook and memorable tokens from your life that may inspire writing and collaboration.

Working with acrylics, we’ll explore hue, value, saturation, color temperature, simultaneous contrast, and complementary color relationships. We will begin with a brief overview of color’s physical properties, followed by guided mixing exercises that reveal how different primaries interact. Participants will create a series of small color studies to investigate spatial effects, contrast, and temperature shifts—tools they can apply to future painting projects. Plan to bring: Basic acrylic set and painting surfaces of various sizes and textures, and a color wheel.

Through guided practices in contemplative movement, sensory awareness, and creative response, the class will investigate how the environment can serve as collaborator, mirror, and source of inspiration. Beginning with brief orientation, followed by warm-up drawing and reflective writing, participants will then move into guided mindful movement and sensory practices before engaging in solo explorations of the meadow and its more-than-human inhabitants. These experiences will be brought back into drawing and writing as tools for further discovery, play, and personal insight. The session will close with small-group reflection and a collective sharing circle. This session is accessible to all levels—no dance or art-making experience required. The emphasis is process-oriented, welcoming all abilities and encouraging a playful, exploratory mindset. Set entirely outdoors, participants are invited to wander, sit, lie down, and move freely on the ground.  Plan to bring: anything you need for comfort outside; layered clothing; a water bottle; snacks; personal writing tools; and drawing or simple painting supplies of your choice, including paper. Oil pastels, newsprint, and yoga mats will be provided.

                                                                          $110.00$110.00

Through guided exercises, students will explore how body-based awareness can open new pathways for creativity, intuition, and self-expression. We’ll begin with grounding movement scores and sensory awareness practices on the meadow, attuning to breath, sensation, and personal imagery. From there, we’ll shift into drawing and creative writing prompts that translate movement-based experiences into visual and poetic form, followed by small-group collaborations and witnessing practices that invite deeper understanding. The workshop will close with reflective writing to integrate themes, metaphors, and discoveries that emerged throughout the process. This session is accessible to all levels—no dance or art-making experience required. The emphasis is process-oriented, welcoming all abilities and encouraging a playful, exploratory mindset. Plan to bring: layered clothing for outdoor movement; anything needed for comfort on the ground; a water bottle; personal writing materials; and basic drawing or simple painting supplies.
