Step into a low-pressure, high-play zone with this creative, black-and-white mark-making workshop. In this session, we’ll use just two tones—black and white—to explore the expressive power of simple lines, shapes, and textures. Limiting the palette helps quiet the noise and focus on the rhythm and energy behind each mark. You’ll start with warm-ups to loosen your hand and ease any creative nerves. Then, through guided exercises, we’ll explore contrast, repetition, rhythm, and flow to create abstract compositions full of energy and personality. No experience needed. This class is perfect for artists, writers, doodlers, and anyone looking to shake off perfectionism and reconnect with their creative spark. And bonus: studies have shown that engaging in artistic play can boost mental clarity, improve mood, and even support overall brain health. Come curious. Leave with a stack of experiments, maybe a favorite new tool, and a fresh sense of what’s possible with just black, white, and a little creative freedom.
