“People Getting Ready To Do Things” is the title of a 1974 Ed Ruscha text-based artwork. For this workshop, it’s you!
Come and explore how to keep your enthusiasm high to sustain your ongoing making practice. When faced with endless possibilities, progress can become paralyzed. In this workshop, we’ll explore “The Dailies,” a small-works making practice that gets your hands and mind moving.
The Dailies take 10 - 15 min each day, and have no cost, no rules, and no possibility of failure.
Christina will share her Dailies practice with you, and help you develop your own.
One month after the initial workshop day (on Saturday, March 8, 2-3:30pm), we’ll reconnect to see what each of you has discovered. (This session is optional, but recommended!)
In class we’ll explore, invent, make, and have fun.
Required supplies:
Please bring to share any material/yarn/thread/other bits and bobs, hard and soft. These can be pretty small, the scrap of the scrap.

Scrap paper or notebook for notes/drawings
Optional Supplies. TAC has the following supplies for participants to use. However, feel free to bring your own if you prefer:
