Live Workshop

Join Hunter Moon Homestead creator and artist, Kate Poole, for a transformative journey of self-expression.

We will be exploring the powerful tool of journaling, using both visual and written expression. Tending to a creative journal helps to form a practice that assists in keeping creative goals in mind, feeds inspiration, and is a great opportunity to explore technique while learning. Delve into the art of journaling, a powerful tool that not only nurtures creativity, but also provides a structured space for exploration.

In this workshop we will begin 3 separate creative journals (one inspired by landscape, one inspired by botanicals, and another inspired by portraiture and the human form). In each journal we will explore a variety of mediums, and we will use our own poetry or prose as a prompt for developing corresponding images. We will capture images using variety of mediums including paint, ink, pencil, charcoal, pastel, mixed media and stencil.

This workshop is more than an artistic endeavor—it's an opportunity to forge a creative practice, discover new techniques, and breathe life into your artistic aspirations. Join us in crafting visual stories that mirror the evolution of your artistic voice.
