Come join the fun!

This afternoon workshop will connect you with the joy of creating for the sake of exploration, humour, and collaboration. Primarily utilizing modelling and assemblage, we will cultivate a sense of possibility, adventure and imagination.

Creating with unexpected materials can lower our inhibitions, giving us the playful experience of creating with curiosity and openness to the unexpected…just for the pleasure of it!

​This one-session workshop runs from 1 to 4pm with a mid-way break. Feel free to bring drinks and snacks. The $105 workshop fee includes GST and all materials supplied.

Bring a friend discount of $25 each when 2 people sign up at the same time. Email kristinacampbellart@gmail.com to register.

So excited to be offering this gem of a program in the new year! Leslie Sanderson will be joining me from Gabriola to lead the workshop. Visit https://www.artfulexistence.ca/calibrating-true-north-workshop-courtenay for more details and links to register.

This workshop is deeply grounded in existentialism (both philosophy and psychology) and given the pervasive existential angst and free floating anxiety rumbling around these days, Calibrating True North is the perfect antidote!

Jan 24-26, 2025 in person at Artful : The Gallery in Courtenay, BC. Join us!

Support and Integration for participants in experiential programs at The Haven on Gabriola Island, BC

I had a wonderful time leading Undrawn yesterday as part of the Gabriola Isle of the Arts workshops! The highlight of the day was hearing at the end from a participant how the workshop had broken down a lifelong belief that they couldn't draw, and their gratitude that a friend had invited them to join us for the day, this left me with a warm heart, and a reminder of why I love this work!

I was also thrilled to have so many participants discover, or re-discover, their love of using charcoal. Time to put together a charcoal drawing workshop! Stay tuned...🥰
