You asked for it! Vision Boarding 101 is back!
Vision Boarding 101 is all about a boundless burst of creativity while also setting intentions. Maybe you feel like things have been chaotic in your life, and you could use some centring? Maybe you're unsure of what you'd like to focus on for the next few months, and could use some guidance? Maybe you really just want to cut something... we feel you. Through this workshop you will hear about the wonderfully cathartic practice of vision boarding and collaging, why we feel compelled to set intentions and goals, the process of creating a board, and, of course, an opportunity give it a try yourself!
There is no experience needed for this workshop and we provide all materials (but feel free to bring your own)!
Explore satirical and nonsensical art in a welcoming environment where diverse voices converge through collage. We draw inspiration from collage's rich history of societal impact. Let’s create art that not only reflects the absurdity of our world but also sparks conversation and inspires change! Think of it as a mood board for the future—crafting the future you envision, one piece at a time. Spend your day with us at FUNK. Coffee Bar while we sip coffee and create.
