An art book for the rebel collector. Are you a collector of the weird and wonderful? Do you long to find your truest artistic expression? Do you find your self picking up little things that catch your eye when you are on walks? Do you save little pieces or special paper and fabric? Let’s explore the spirit of the magpie! a bird with much connected mystique and symbolism. In this workshop we will be approaching the creative process with curiosity and a playful spirit. Using the Magpie as our muse we will be experimenting with different ways to tap into our creative instinct and fearlessness. Aimee will guide you in finding your very own visual language using brushes and mark making tools made with simple accessible materials. While exploring our truest creative expression we will build a artist book full of layers and stories from deep within our souls. Collect everyday items that speak to your soul Discover new ways to use foraged materials Build art tools infused with your energy E
