This class invites students to trust the unpredictable and rediscover creativity that lives just beyond the edge of what is known. We will draw inspiration from a vast tapestry of sources, from the fractured language of poems and the archetypal whispers of fairy tales to the forgotten details of your own personal history. The goal is not to illustrate a story, but to channel its essence. We will abandon the pursuit of "perfection" and embrace the alchemy of process. We will learn that true creation is less about control and more about growth being the constant, transforming our art and ourselves again and again. This is an invitation to step onto the shifting ground of your own creativity and find out what happens just beyond the edge. Art Supply List OAS Fall 2026 Judy Mayer-Grieve
