Everything Blossoms From Within


  • Serenbe 9055 Selborne Lane Chattahoochee Hills, GA 30268 United States (map)

I am looking forward to teaching at this new place — an artist retreat just outside Atlanta, Georgia

Workshop Description

This workshop is hosted by the Art Farm at Serenbe. I am looking forward to discovering this new place. The contact information is listed below.

This title, “Everything blossoms from within”, is inspired by the poet, Galway Kinnell, with whom I had the privilege of working with in my exhibit “Another Night in the Ruins”. In his poem, Saint Francis and the Sow, he puts these two words together: self and blessing: self-blessing. Our work blossoms from within, with dedicated time and place. When we reach within, the place and the work reaches back. 

In this class we will focus on putting unlikely words together — self-blessing, mind-weeds, shadow-practice — in visual, auditory and poetic ways. We will be using ink, watercolor and graphite and incorporate this work into a handmade book.

Join us for a week of writing, visual experiments and bookmaking in a contemplative atmosphere. This class is made for those of you who are willing and able to leave phones and watches outside the classroom. No exceptions. All levels of experience welcome.

When our work blossoms, we blossom with it.
