Powered by GoogleI’m so happy that I finally made it one of Kathy’s workshops! It was a wonderful experience and I learned so many new ways of looking for inspiration and creating art. I’ve already implemented some of my learnings into projects at home in week following the workshop. I was inspired and that is exactly what I was hoping to gain! I will definitely be signing up for another workshop and or retreat.
I attended Kathy Leader’s (The Art Process) “Art for the Soul" 4/14–4/16/23. The retreat is aptly titled as Kathy's passion is to help students access their innate creativity through a holistic approach. The retreat was well-planned and every resource was made available to participants. Each participant’s workspace was spacious with plenty of room for materials and working. The time was a treat for the senses – sunny space, color everywhere, upbeat music, materials to work with, and tasty healthy meals that were enjoyed by all. Kathy’s love for working with others to access their creativity is evident in her style – positivity, humor, clarity, and a consistent presence and availability. Through Kathy’s encouragement, I was able to set aside my inner art critic and enjoy authentic expression of my own creativity. If you have an interest in expanding your creativity, connecting with like-minded people, and upgrading your artistic skill-set, do yourself a favor and attend a workshop or retreat with Kathy Leader’s “The Art Process.”
I took my first workshop with Kathy this month and thoroughly enjoyed the creative space she provided, as well as the community of art explorers surrounding her. The process was enjoyable and the atmosphere was one of curiosity and self-exploration over judgments. I learned about some contemporary artists during the process, one of whom this particular project was based on. So interesting. I highly recommend Kathy's sensitive teaching and coaching...
Kathy’s 3 day retreat was great! Kathy is a wonderful teacher with a non judgmental and supportive personality. I learned so many great techniques and came away feeling jazzed and inspired to set up a creative space for myself at home. As a side note, Kathy provided the most delicious, healthy food for lunch each day, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to the next one!
I love Kathy Leader's art-process classes. Kathy makes it so easy to learn new techniques in a fear-less and fun way. Thanks to Kathy, I feel like a "real artist," not just a arts and crafty wannabe!
