Process Art Classes for Adults: ....unleash your creativity, trust the process, go with the flow.....

"I approach each new creative experience with a breath of fresh air. I allow my body and mind to become neutral with no pre-conceived ideas… In this way I am able to create/paint from neutral place and a place of authenticity…" Sharon Lopis

The Astar Approach

The Astar artmaking process takes place in a space which is safe, respectful and non-judgemental. All present are encouraged to practise an attitude of total acceptance. Students are discouraged to comment on the work of others as even praise can inhibit the process. The facilitator ensures a nurturing and contained space for free expression.

The studio is quiet and undisturbed by the outside world. The process is essentially non-verbal and all cellphones are switched off. In this way, the space is opened up for everyone present. Participants experience a timeless space, a great relief in their busy lives.The ethos of the studio is co-created by the group and the facilitator. A sacred space is created where honest and meaningful creative processes can take place.
