Teaching again on Wellspring 2020!

Hi, servus and thanks so much for stopping by today!

The aim of this post is - as the banner above already tells - to let you know of the launch of this year's Wellspring School at Mixed Up Creative Academy.

I've been part of this programme already last year and I loved that it was a huge success and students really loved learning about many different ways of having art and creative processes become part of their self care and enhancing mental well-being.

This year Wellspring 2020 is back, brand new and with more classes from Mixed Up Creative Academy's dedicated tutors and some expert guests again to grow your pool of tools, projects and ways for better self care and wellspring through art and creativity. And I am of course so proud to be part of this again as this has always been a matter close to my heart.

I've started noticing what art practice, specific painting and drawing exercises and enhancing creative abilities in general to express yourself in your art can do for your well-being (especially when it comes to dealing with everyday life's speed and stress nowadays) almost twenty years ago when I started teaching arts at secondary school to ten to eight-teen year olds and throughout the years I have been delving deeper into that topic and have come up with two classes for Wellspring 2020 that I hope will be as much help for you as it obviously has been for myself and most of my pupils throughout my almost twenty years of teaching!

Check out additional info and sign up over here:

Wellspring 2020

There's an early bird price again (the offer lasts until midnight 19th April), which is 69 Euro and saves you 14 Euro compared to the regular price of 86 Euro. So don't miss out on this offer!

General sale and registrations close on 31st May!

The course runs from 1st May through to 18th August and there will be 18 weeks filled to the brim with uplifting, empowering, thought-provoking and life-affirming lessons - two of which have been carefully put together for you with all my heart and experience from two decades as an arts teacher with a bit of a psychological background - so I hope you will like these alongside all the other fantastic lessons from my colleagues!

Here's a little sneak peek of what awaits you in one of my two lessons...

...and this is an appetiser of what awaits you in general when it comes to projects and creative exercises:

We will also once more have a closed facebook group as a safe place for you to get in touch with your dedicated tutors and student fellows.

You will of course have life time access to the course and there come free printables with the course as well as downloadable PDF files or videos of all the lessons.

So make sure you don't miss the early bird price offer and become part of the

Hugs and happy crafting!

Wellbeing Through Creativity - Join Me and 21 Other Creative Tutors in an Amazing Six Weeks Wellspring Summer School

(this blog post contains advertising)

Hi, servus and thanks so much for stopping by on this special day!

Special for me, because I am announcing my first Video Class I have put together and recorded for you and that is part of a six weeks long fantastic creative summer school named Wellspring 2019 and is offered by Mixed Up Creative over at their Mixed Up Creative Academy platform.

This is how lovely Katy, the mastermind behind Mixed Up Creative and this summer school explains what Wellspring 2019 is all about:

Wellspring is a six-week summer school focussing on the power of creativity for self-care. We’ll look at how you can learn to use your creative time in ways that can be beneficial to your mental wellbeing. In a series of 25 detailed lessons, we will explore topics around the creative self, challenge you to look at how you work and what blocks you may have, consider how and why art can be so good for your soul, and make lots of fun projects along the way. Plus, you’ll learn more about how and why art can be therapeutic from mindfulness and art therapy experts.

OMG! I just love being part of this!!!!
I guess we all know how much creativity and well being are connected and about the therapeutic effects of creative processes, but here you will find over twenty classes that will in one or the other way show you how to nurture your creative self and soul. To take a peek at the projects your tutors have designed for Wellspring 2019, simply click on the link at the bottom of this post or watch the short video right here.

My project is all about facing those parts of our personalities that we do not feel comfortable with - anger and frustration. And it is about unveiling the energy hidden or locked away within these feelings. It is about becoming whole and accepting all the facets of our personality - which is a crucial factor when it comes to wellbeing and self-care.
Looking at it from the creative side, we will be tackling the much feared topic of self-portraits - but in a new and totally stress- and failure-free way!
And you can even attend this class without having to dig deep down into your selves and still profit from the technique shown to grow your confidence with portrait painting. And of course you can also profit from the psychological effect behind the project without having to create the perfect self-portrait. Either way - I hope my class will help you as much in increasing your wellbeing as it did with me.

For those who want to save a few bucks...there is an early bird price that runs until Thurs, 13th June.

There will be some pre-school classes that start on 14th June.
These remain open until 30th June, at which point registrations will close.
Wellspring Summer School officially starts 1st July and will offer 25 lessons spread across six weeks in July and August. There will also be a private facebook group where tutors and students can discuss and share their progress.
