Are you worried you’ll get bored with your ideas or intentions? Do you feel overwhelmed with the details of creating a small body of work – what do I keep the same? What do I repeat with variation? How do I set limits that unleash my creativity without limiting my creativity? In this session artist and coach Laurel Antur will help you separate curiosity from confusion and chaos, discuss ways to manage creative anxiety so you can take risks, and offer ways to play and explore your theme or subject in depth while staying in bounds. This hands-on session will include time to experiment with a miniature series in your sketchbook, with an optional after session to keep working and exploring.
