Group classes are not available for the time being


DISCOVER YOUR INNER ARTIST!



The classes are designed to explore and discover your own inner artist. They are not about imitating others but about developing and appreciating what is interesting to you personally in the medium of art. Fun, exploration, development in one's own style and techniques, respect and mutual appreciation are goals in the classes.



BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND SELF VALIDATION



The class allows students to experiment and test out ideas, therefore increasing personal autonomy and motivation. We can’t explore with freedom if we are worried about judgments. We can’t discover what we love if we are afraid to try different things.



SPARK YOUR CREATIVITY!



Different materials and styles are introduced in the classes to spark creativity and spontaneity.

“Me divertí, goce como loca. Además me permitiste entrar en las profundidades mas secretas de mi misma. Tu espontaneidad, tu diosa interna, tu creatividad y mera presencia hicieron de este workshop una experiencia inolvidable para mi (y para muchas también.) Sos una facilitadora y una artista incredible!! Gracias.”
