HEY SHAUNA ART THERAPY OPEN STUDIO
HOW IT WORKS
- This offering is for adults only (18+).
- These are in-person sessions, in my art therapy studio, downtown Victoria (address details below).
- These are NOT classes/workshops, or therapy.
- These sessions are self-directed. I will be there to help you get set-up, to make suggestions, and to field any questions …but beyond that, this is meant to be self-directed studio time for therapeutic art-making (mucking about in ways that feel good, for you & your nervous system). Time and space to build and maintain a creative care practice.
- Art materials are provided.
- Tea is provided.
- You can bring your own snacks into the space.
- There are options to work on a table, wall, floor …or hunkered in on the couch.
- Max 4 people in the studio at a time.
- Pls book your time(s) in advance (as opposed to just showing up). If I don’t have any bookings I may not be there.
LOCATION
108 – 561 Johnson Street, Victoria BC
(in the Paper Box Arcade, blue & green building across the street from the main entrance to Market Square – string-light lined corridor, last door on the left, white sheer curtains in the windows, currently no signage).
ORIENTATION
- Optional: 1:1 orientation (contact me to book this).
- Optional INTRO to OPEN STUDIO workshops. I am adding dates for these somewhat regularly.
- NO experience with art or art-making is req’d to book studio time (but if you don’t have any experience, or if you’d just like some guidance around how to use the time, you may want to do one of the options above before you book in for open studio).
- An orientation session (or workshop) is also NOT required …you can just show up and jump in… start mucking with some art materials, see where it takes you.
COST
$35 (for a 2hr booking)
Includes all art materials, and tea/bubbly water.
SCHEDULE
This is the current schedule, but if there’s enough interest I may add other days/times.
- Sundays (6-7pm and/or 7-8pm)
- Tuesdays (6-7pm and/or 7-8pm)
Bookings are made by the hour (and you can book as many hours as you’d like).
YOUR FIRST BOOKING
For your first Open Studio booking, I will give you a tour of the space and the art materials …get you set up with a tea, and your choice of materials that you’d like to work with. I’m happy to also make some suggestions of places to start, and materials to try.
