The ATELIER at ArtPlay is a new type of offering designed to support your creative process within a circle of community while receiving guidance and inspiration from an artist. It is neither a traditional class nor an open studio. Instead, it is a gently guided creative experience. This session is open to those who have previously taken Elizabeth’s Healing Threads workshop, as well as those who are seeking dedicated exploration time and guidance for their fiber or stitch-based creative projects. During this three-hour creative immersion, you’ll enter an extended period of intentional play and experimentation with fiber materials. With Elizabeth as your guide, you will deepen and expand your creative process while continuing to explore the layering of fabrics with stitching. Along the way, you may also discover the meditative and calming qualities that often emerge through this type of handwork. In this studio-based Healing Threads Atelier, participants will receive supportive, responsive guidance as they continue developing fiber-based works already in progress, while also being encouraged in the initiation of new pieces. As art is made in community, each participant contributes an important energy to the Healing Threads Atelier circle. Participants are invited to bring personal works-in-progress, completed pieces they wish to share with the group, and any materials that support their individual projects. Elizabeth will also have a selection of fiber-based supplies available in the studio.
A community of 700+ artists in working studios and galleries along the French Broad River, in Asheville, NC. Tons of RAD is now OPEN!
