Announcing a workshop given by one of our own SAQA regional member, 
Joni Beach.  If you need a play day, this could be just the thing!



Lifeweavings: A Creative Journey
A Creativity Work-Playshop! with Joni Beach
Come and explore Creativity, your Design Process, and our Lifespans!                                       What do we gather during our lives that influences, inspires, and contributes to our artistic abilities, interests, skills….designs & creations!?
While creating a weaving of colored ribbons, explore each of the 9 stages of life—consider the strengths to be gained…the creative experiences…and the influences that contribute to your unique designs or creative work. Mini-journal your thoughts and observations as we work through the exercise.  Other interactive activities and discussions will be used as a guide for considering what creativity is, generating new ideas, and sharing your inspirations with other artists/creative people! 
Our overall goal will be to have fun, enjoy sharing ideas, and being inspired!!! We will encourage each person to use their creativity, to explore and experiment in their design process (in your own chosen area/or medium), and to motivate everyone to take steps towards their own unique goals…even small ones, or micro-movements!
