CREATING WHILE LIFE IS HAPPENING
Presented by Artist and Creativity Life Coach Jeff Stevenson
Third in a series of Creativity Workshops presented by Jeff Stevenson. The myths and fantasies about the ideal creative moment or the ideal creative place often stand in theway of our creative thinking and our creative work. Although having peace and quiet with uninterrupted blocks of time and a well appointed office or studio doesn’t hurt, most of us have demands put upon us that provide interruptions and less than ideal environments. This workshop will focus on specific techniques that participants will find practical and easy to implement and that will open doors for the creative spirit. $45 fee. Call to register 708.754.2601 |
