Artful Experience 2021

We invite you to explore the meaning of these High Holidays through a creative process. Set aside some time to open your heart and mind in this meditative and expressive process. No previous art-making experience is required.  This is a time to play with color and imagination. 

Please prepare a space on which you can spread a sheet of paper approximately 9”x12” and gather any of supplies you have on hand (no need to purchase – use what you have at home).

Materials: 

• A few sheets of paper (about 9x12 inches) of white or colorful paper. You can use watercolor paper, multimedia paper or construction paper
• Colorful markers, a regular pencil, colored pencils, pen, watercolor set, or other paints

We will briefly demonstrate how we can use these materials in a few ways to create a visual expression. Come ready to get your hands dirty and have a relaxing and enriching experience.
