Hi everyone! Popping in to remind you that the wonderful FREE Creative Weekend of classes begins TOMORROW and runs all weekend.
I am excited to be 1 of the 26 artists offering a free class for the Tasters Lessons to be broadcast on the weekend of 12 & 13th of July. I will be sharing my beautiful practice of gathering, observing and capturing nature's beauty through line drawing, capturing colors and pulling everything together into a journal page.
This is a FREE showcase of all the fabulous artists that are part of Make Create Express 2025/2026!
I have added a little sneak peek of my intro video of the FREE session I am offering and if you are new to me, this is also a lovely way to introduce myself to you!
What is Make Create Express?
Make Create Express is a year long offering - 26 artists from around the world (you can see their lovely faces below), 78 lessons, community, inspiration and more.
The FREE Taster Retreat Weekend runs July 12 & 13.
The FULL One Year Make Create Express begins July 14. (Early bird price is only $120 here!)
It all starts with the FREE Creative Retreat Weekend Tempter Sessions (a lesson from each artist available in a jam packed weekend of Inspiration) and then another 2 lessons from each artist over the year when you sign up to the full Make Create Express 2025.
Even if you just want to join for the FREE weekend, it will be FABULOUS!
A Peek into my Lessons!
As part of the FREE Weekend, I am offering a lovely lesson on sketching and creating motifs from a single flower. The in the full program, we will be drawing the beautiful frangipani (using my grid system for drawing flowers), creating gorgeous mixed media cards and then creating a Botanical Mandala inspired by this gorgeous flower.
🌸 FREE: Join me to be inspired by a single flower where we will sketch motifs, capture color palettes and add these to our journal.
🌸 Inside the main paid program: My 2 lessons are all about the beautiful frangipani flower, inspired by my trip to Thailand. You will learn to draw this flower from many different perspectives (using my grid frameworks), create inspiration cards and then create your very own Botanical Mandala.
Here is a little peak into the free lesson:
Then a little peek into the 2 lessons that are included in the full program that runs for one year with 78 lessons in total.
One of the reoccurring themes of the Make Create Express workshop is how important creativity is to our well being, how our creativity is a way that we show up for ourselves, how we listen to ourselves, express ourselves, take care of ourselves.
I strongly believe in the healing energy of nature and I am answering that call to return to this work, so this creative weekend and program is a perfect way to connect back to this beautiful practice.
So if you are looking to reinvigorate or kick start your creative practice be sure to join us for the jam packed weekend of creativity, community and inspiration.
This is the 4th year I have offered FREE lessons on the Creative Weekend and brand new full lessons for the main online program. I love taking part in this online retreat. I look forward to seeing you there. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments by adding your comment below.
