Art Lab is about creativity, feelings, and the process of making art.
If you want to do creative work but struggle to actually do so consistently, or if challenging feelings sometimes stop you from making the kind of work you want to make, Art Lab is for you!
We'll get into everything from perfectionism, to fear of failure, to concrete tools for dealing with an intrusive inner critic – in short, anywhere that emotions and creativity overlap.
Art Lab is for beginners who can't figure out how to get started, for serial-incompletists who have started and stopped many times before, and for established creatives who want to keep growing in their artistic practice, even when it takes them to emotionally challenging places.
