  • Cloud Collective Workshops

    Cloud Collective offers a variety of workshops throughout the year. Our bi-annual staple, The Artist’s Way Workshop, and its graduating follow-ups, The Path and The Elements of Design, are courses designed to fertilize your creative potential and unlock new levels of creative freedom. We also offer courses and workshops throughout the year, such as therapeutic art workshops, medium-specific courses, and seasonal/holiday-specific events.
     

  • The Artist's Way
    There is untapped brilliance inside you: what is it nudging you to do?

    This is your opportunity to dive deep into your creative potential. Using Julia Cameron’s best-selling book The Artist’s Way as a guide, our course is designed to help you tap into your artist within and build new life-affirming habits along the way. While studying, writing, discussing, and making art together, you and your fellow participants will forge a supportive community as you commit to strengthening your connection to your creative self.

    The Path

    A multimedia exploration of creativity, bravery, and their life-enhancing capabilities or, ancient and modern advice on how to live your best life.

    Finished The Artist’s Way and looking for more? Our follow-up course, The Path, picks up where the Artist’s Way Workshop left off: now that you’ve reconnected with your inner artistic potential, let’s flex it a little! You’ll be using familiar tools from your time with The Artist’s Way to explore new territory, as well as immersing yourself into a variety of new texts. And, like the Artist’s Way Workshop, you’ll be joined by your cohort of fellow explorers, and together you’ll create new maps of creative possibility.

    Elements of Design

     From Chaos to Clarity: Foundations for Making Art That Speaks

    Wanting to learn more skills and gain confidence making something that “looks good”? In fact, what does it even mean, for something you make to “look good”? What are the tricks of arranging a “pleasing composition”, and how can you apply simple rules to help your art “look right” when it’s hanging on the wall? Why does my still life painting look “weird” when I step away from it and how can I fix it? Most importantly, how can I tell if "weird" is actually "good" and maybe I don't need to change it after all? 


    This class is for those who have completed the Artist’s Way and are ready to apply their wide-open senses of creative adventure and self-trust to the act of making original art. We’ll make LOTS of "Bad Art" together on the journey to learning how to make what each of us would call, “Good Art.”
