AFJ Workshops

Find The Art You Love

Sunday 2 - 5 pm CET, ON DEMAND

Webinar, 4 teaching units, 38.00 EUR

We connect with our heart energy and choose art tools and materials that induce joy from the inside. Making marks of high contrast, we play around with strong differenes to strengthen emotion and joy. We take advice from the body sense (inside-out support) to push our contrasts further. We step into a zone of surprize, amazement, aliveness and becoming. This zone is a little bit scary. We take outside-in support from three basic principles of artmaking (design, value, color) to feel safe enough to make art from most ourselves

You can work abstract or figurative and with all dry and wet materials

Introductory course. No previous knowledge or skills required

Felt Art Journaling: Becoming Bold

Sunday 2 - 5 pm CET, ON DEMAND

Webinar, 4 teaching units, 38.00 EUR

Forward your AFJ experiencing through Felt Art Journaling

Felt Art Journaling is crossing Cosmic Smash Booking®, Messy Art Journaling, Sensual Design and experiential arts. Felt Art Journaling is a safe ground for getting more and more playful with different kinds of techniques, materials, artistic tools and art expression. Experimenting makes your art bold. Once you feel comfortable with bold art, you can transfer your boldness to larger artwork and to life.

You are working on small format making arts from the body sense
