VISUAL VOICE AS A TOOL OF TRANSFORMATION
CREATING PERSONAL ARCHETYPE CARDS
exploring personal messengers and parts of ourselves
through collage
SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 11AM-2PM (this workshop is FULL but there's a chance one spot will open up. Please be in touch to get on the waiting list)
$60-80 sliding scale
This month's theme will play with the idea of emerging into a revised way of inhabiting your life, by acknowledging and honoring personal truths that are deeper than how we might be used to living.
This workshop invites you into a creative process that uses visual expression as a way to listen to what’s moving beneath the surface. Through collage, we’ll create space for the mind to soften and the unconscious to come into play, allowing inner experiences, emotions, and perspectives, to take form outside of the inner landscape. By giving shape and voice to what lives within, we open the possibility for a more conscious and compassionate relationship with ourselves.
With the intention of exploring your unique visual voice as a tool for transformation, this workshop supports the emergence of parts of yourself that may be asking for attention, integration, or strengthening. This might look like deepening a relationship with a vulnerability, acknowledging something long held back, engaging with a fear, or giving form to a powerful emotional state. Through collage and the juxtaposition of images, these aspects are invited to be witnessed and supported, becoming visual allies you can return to as you continue to deepen your relationship with yourself and others.
As we work, you may begin to notice recurring themes, characters, or symbolic qualities showing up in your images. These often resemble what are commonly referred to as archetypes- universal patterns or messengers that appear across cultures and stories. In this context, archetypes are not something you need to define or analyze, but rather something that may naturally emerge through the creative process, reflecting the shared human experiences and your own
personal story.
Through collage, writing practices, and guided visualization, we’ll explore these visual messengers and the themes they highlight in your life. No prior art experience or familiarity with archetypes is needed. All that’s required is curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to create and be seen. All materials will be provided, and you are welcome to bring your own collage images if you’d like.
What you create may echo a universal message, but it will be uniquely yours—rooted in your lived experience, your inner world, and your own way of seeing.
- These groups are open to adults of all genders and ethnic backgrounds. Each session will be caped at 6 people.
- We gather in my home art studio in Lyons, Colorado. Address and directions will be provided after registration.

BOOKBINDING &
SELF EXPRESSION
SUNDAY JANUARY 4, 2026
11am-3pm
$150-$175 depending on your choice of materials
Class will be held in my home studio in Lyons, CO. Directions provided after registration.
Imagine picking up a book- a journal, a scrapbook, a book of recipes- and feeling so comforted by it, so met by its essence that you recognize your own. In this workshop you will learn how to make not just a book, but a portal that invites and inspires you to meet yourself within its pages.
You will construct your book from beginning to end, using classic bookbinding techniques (including the long stitch method), specialty and handmade papers, as well as any extra adornments you bring from home. We will explore ways in which your book can act as a host for your creative process of truth telling through words, images, and special additions that echo who you are.
Extra personalizing materials to bring from home may include: special coins, stamps, small pieces of art, handwritten letters, envelopes, passports, maps, special papers, hair, stickers, photos, stencils, antique keys, special ribbon or yarn, beads, stones and crystals, favorite quotes, and anything else that strikes your fancy.
