How often have you wanted to draw, write, or try something new but stopped out of fear you’ll mess it up or worries that it won’t be “good enough”? When it comes to creativity, many of us feel blocked by our perceived failures or critiques from the past.

What if we approach failure with a more playful attitude? In this workshop we not only learn from mistakes, we embrace them. We work with failure as the construct it is, free to be reshaped or even destroyed. We’ll use creativity as resistance, taking the judgement out of failure and dubbing the idea of success as overrated. 


Come spend a couple hours with Daniel and Shayna exploring failure through writing and visual art. It’s completely ok to mess it up. You have permission to fail. 

No previous writing or art experience is necessary. This workshop is process-oriented and fun for any level. Your facilitators are empathy-led educators focused on making a safe and inclusive working environment for everyone. 

Art isn’t created in a vacuum. It’s a response: to emotions, to a beautiful landscape, sometimes even to the work of another artist. In this one-evening workshop, we will explore through writing and drawing how response can be a powerful form of generating new work and finding creative pathways. Expect to write or draw responses to famous works of art and to each other’s work under the guidance of your instructors.

Oblique Strategies (subtitled Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas) is a card-based method for promoting creativity. Created by musician/artist Brian Eno and multimedia artist Peter Schmidt, these oblique strategies have been used to create everything from innovative ambient work to the experimental pop records of David Bowie. 

In this workshop, we will explore how these oblique strategies can be applied to generate new writing and transform old work that feels clichêd or uninteresting. Bring work you feel is stuck, or show up ready to create. Either way, expect to walk away from the workshop with several inspiring strategies you can apply to your work and a fresh perspective on the power of playful experimentation.

How do we create a portrait of ourselves that expresses our inner life? How can we connect with an honest image of ourselves while we’re oversaturated with presentations of perfection and soulless AI slop? Visual artists and writers often dabble in each other’s practice, but there’s power in bringing the two together. In this one-day workshop, we’ll play with drawing and writing to discover a fuller portrait of who we are.
