A Solstice celebration!

I am excited to share an inspiring offering that celebrates the beauty, light, and reflection of the Summer Solstice.

In the spirit of honouring this powerful seasonal shift, I'll soon be opening a gentle and creative course designed around a summery, solstice theme. 

Using mixed media techniques we will focus on lessons including themes of stillness, light, vitality, connecting to nature, emotions and the turning of the year's wheel. 

This immersive course includes six full-length classes , each focusing on a separate topic and including different mixed media techniques, plus some bonus art journal pages and prompts inside.

Once enrolled, the full course of lessons is yours to keep, so you can use and revisit, working at your own pace, or sink right into a joyous Solstice weekend of total creative bliss - the choice is yours!

Warm Up Time! Get Your Bonus Journal Pages, Quotes and Affirmations Here!

Welcome dear creative soul!

I am so happy you are here!

Before we officially begin, here is a little bonus to get you started!

In this section I have included for you some journal pages with gentle prompts and intention-setting guides .

Please be welcome to print these out, or, if you prefer, decorate your own journal page using the prompts provided ( or your own words) and set your intentions down before we begin.

This can feel challenging if it is new to you, and something you may be tempted to skip - perhaps you are keen to just dive in and start creating right away which is often how I feel myself! .... but it really is worth a few minutes of reflection and consideration and can have a huge effect on your mindset and focus.

Setting your intentions does not set rules, this can be a fluid thing too and can change and evolve as you move through different lessons and experience feelings or inspirations that take on a course of their own.

Also in this section you will find a collection of quotes and affirmations that you might like to use.

You are welcome to print them out to tear or cut up and paste them in as collage layers as part of your artwork, or of course these can be copied out and written or painted in by hand.

Enjoy! Here's to new beginnings!

      Golden Quiet

      Honouring the gentle moments that often pass unnoticed.

      Slowing down and capturing a single moment of quiet joy. Coffee ( or tea!) in the garden early on a summer's morning. We are using watercolour layers and and gentle wet-in-wet techniques and allowing ourselves to be still and calm, savouring and celebrating this precious moment.
