If you’re itching to get your creative juices flowing, you’re in luck. The Seattle Artist’s Way Center is offering 12 week classes in Wallingford.
From Artist’s Way instructor Kate Gavigan:
The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is an international bestseller on the subject of creativity. Whether you see yourself as an artist or not, this book and class can be an incredibly useful resource to tap into your creative side which can benefit many parts of your lives. The 2 hour a week 12 week long class will take students through the 12 chapters with an emphasis on the accompanying chapter exercises and additional creativity exercises and strategies (i.e. meditation tools). This material works with everyone, no matter how dormant or energized their creative life may be, and enhances their ability to be more fully and genuinely themselves.
Julia Cameron uses 3 basic tools for students to enhance their lives and their creativity: 1) morning pages (writing 3 pages longhand of stream of consciousness writing), artist’s dates (solo fun dates with yourself) and completing creativity exercises at the back of each chapter. To quote Julia, “In order to retrieve your creativity, you need to find it.” The basic tools and the additional creativity exercises that we incorporate into the 12 week course will help you do just that.
There are two sections available; Section 1 runs January 27 – April 13, and is offered Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Section 2 runs January 30 – April 16, and meets Mondays, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Both classes are taught by Kate Gavigan and Gin Hammond, and held at the Present Sense art center in Wallingford.
