Creative Workshops at TLC
These creative workshops are designed for independent learners. Typically, participants are 12 and older.
In this inspiring, hands-on workshop, participants create a personal vision board that captures their goals, dreams for the New Year. The session includes a short guided reflection to help each person clarify what matters most, whether that’s career, creativity, relationships, wellness, or personal growth. Participants then browse a rich collection of magazines, printed images, quotes, textured papers, and embellishments to select the visuals and words that speak to them. Each person leaves with a finished, one-of-a-kind vision board and a simple action step to help turn their vision into reality.
In this hands-on creative workshop, participants design and make their own personal deck of affirmation cards. The session begins with a short, guided reflection to help each person identify the words, themes, and intentions they most want to carry with them, such as confidence, courage, patience, or gratitude. Participants then craft 8 to 12 original affirmations in their own voice and bring them to life using mixed media.
In this playful, hands-on workshop, participants transform everyday odds and ends into a one-of-a-kind junk journal. Using vintage book pages, envelopes, maps, sheet music, paper bags, ephemera, fabric scraps, and lace, each person learns how to fold, stitch, and layer found materials into a textured, tuck-and-pocket-filled journal that tells their own story.
Participants will learn simple binding methods, creative ways to build pockets and flip-outs, and techniques for adding color, stamps, and handwritten touches. No art or bookbinding experience is needed, and there’s no “right” way to do it. Participants are encouraged to experiment, play, and let the materials guide them. Each person leaves with a finished handmade journal, ready to be filled with writing, sketches, memories, and keepsakes, along with plenty of ideas for continuing the practice at home.
