  • Creativity is for Everyone

    When we are children we are naturally playful and exploratory, as adults we often need to recover our joy in creativity. This workshop is about the process of playing with different mixed media materials, learning techniques for drawing, and then putting it together in a bright and colourful final piece. You’ll discover that you don’t have to be an artist to be creative and that everyone can learn to draw.

  • I have done a number of different art classes with Sara Wiens over the past few years. I have thoroughly enjoyed each class and learned something new in each one. Sara is very passionate about art and it comes through in her classes in a way that really engages her students and inspires in them a desire to create and grow in their own art work. Her classes are very hands-on with ample opportunity to try out what she is teaching while feeling a freedom to express one's own unique artistic style. The way she connects with the people in her class and the atmosphere create a sense of community among those in the class. Sara is very encouraging and has inspired me to pursue creating my own art. I loved her classes and certainly plan to do more in the future.
