Embroidery: Art Therapy
About the event
Who:
ESU art therapy student Tyler Reagan, other members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and YOU! I can hear you now: "I'm not an artist!" Great! This is not a class or critique. "I can't even draw a stick figure!" Awesome. Draw a wonky one. Channel your inner Ms. Frizzle and "take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" Sometimes art therapy looks like making a big mess. And oftentimes it looks like expressing yourself, building resilience, and connecting with others.
What:
Make art in a safe, inclusive, nonjudgmental, super-gay environment. Here are some of the art therapy projects we will be working on (stay with me; some scary words in here): foil art, neurographic drawing, weaving, mandalas, polymer clay magnets, and much more. I will explain everything. I am sure you can glue some sh-stuff together. Join any session. This is an open group.
When:
Sundays 3:15-4:45 pm
Where:
[Johnson County Library - Central Resource Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QXdCmeFB4h6nPAk29) - Room 13.
