Back to (Art) School! — Shelley Chamberlin

Hello Friends,

Despite the temps still hitting the nineties here in Portland, Labor Day is now behind us now and cooler days and crimson and golden leaves are right around the corner. That means back to school both for the littles and for us! Fall always feels like a good time to slow down and deepen our connections and our roots. Here is your friendly nudge to make time to do something for yourself this fall. Maybe it's investing in your creativity by taking a drawing class with us or maybe it's just planning in some time for a daily walk. Caring for ourselves and for each other is a radical and transformative act.

Registration for fall drawing classes is now officially open. One of the things I love most about drawing is the way it centers us in our attention and curiosity about the world. It is a deeply grounding and enlivening practice that transforms how we see and how we engage in our world. Drawing is for everyone! Hope you'll join us this fall in our drawing adventures. We are running two remote (live online) drawing courses: Museum Drawing and Drawing Foundations. Can't wait to see your faces in the virtual classroom!
