Season of Excitement

with Job Airam

Welcome to the Season of Excitement!⁠

This month, Messy Artists are focusing on how freaking cool this art thing is - we're unapologetically enthusiastic about it. ⁠

”When it comes to the things you are working toward, may you keep learning to appreciate the journey even before there is a highlight reel” - Morgan Harper Nichols ⁠⁠

This month you'll be learning from⁠ ⁨Job Airam, Amanda Trought, and Claudette Hasenjager.

✨️ Make Your Mark with Job: A blank page is scary. Let’s make our mark on the page first and work backwards! ⁠

✨️ Beauty in the Limitations with Amanda: Using limited supplies, explore ways to create beautiful ephemera for your art journal play. ⁠

✨️ Rooted in Your Practice with Claudette: End off the year by going back to the core of who you are as an artist - your creative practice.
