Creative Foundations 2025

We aren’t taught how to build Creative Foundations. Good solid foundations support creative practices that carry us during high and low periods.

Creative Foundations is a small group (up to 4 members) to help you build habits and routines that will open up your creativity. There will be ongoing and fully supportive lessons, seminars, explorations, and creative questioning.

Your purchase here will give you a coupon code to access the online course as part of your tuition.

WHY BUILD CREATIVE FOUNDATIONS?

Creative Foundations Seminar is built on the Design Principles & Elements and there will be 17 sessions, beginning the week of January 6, and ending on May 25. The focus is on your Creativity, and building foundations that give you space and time to exercise it. There will be practical lessons and exercises, while we will work on what your creative life vision is and how to make it happen. You don’t have to have answers for any of this at the outset!

It doesn’t matter if you are a Planner or a Seat-of-the Pantser, establishing routines and foundations will open your creative practice and help you to find the time to poke at the things you are interested in.

My creative practice has been a years-long journey. I have paid attention to pursuing dreams and visions within the structure of my life. I’ve been paying attention to what works, and what doesn’t, and how a small tweak can be the difference between having time to be creative or not. My Creativity is who I am, and I do whatever is necessary to help me pursue and explore the subjects I’m interested in. But it isn’t always as easy as it sounds!

WHO NEEDS TO BUILD CREATIVE FOUNDATIONS?

This is for anyone with any creative interest — no need to be a knitter! Tired of putting your creative dreams on the back burner? This could be just the thing to help you move ahead in a purposeful way. Go here for FAQs.

WHAT WILL WE DO?

I’ve adapted and created tools for evaluating aspects of your creative life. All tools and techniques are adaptable to finding the way you need and like to work. We will look at your goals, both big and small, and figure out paths toward them that work with your time and space. I build this around Design Principles & Elements. To build your foundation, we will begin with Form/Shape/Silhouette/Space.

WHEN DO WE START?

There will be 17 sessions, beginning the week of January 6, and ending on May 25. We will coordinate day and time(s) after you enroll. I can flex the schedule to accommodate travel or other obligations when possible.

WHERE WILL WE BUILD THESE FOUNDATIONS?

Mostly via Zoom, through my education platform, and 1-on-1 sessions (you will get your own link and scheduling tool). There will be a Community through my education platform to chat, share things, and enjoy interactions, and access to lessons, documents, videos, etc.

HOW WILL THIS HAPPEN?

Weekly (the group will decide day & time), exploration, assignments & lessons, accountability, and pondering and/or reading. This process involves a lot of observation and mulling, and will move at your pace.

There is a subscription option of 5 equal installments (same price).
