“This was my first class with you, and it exceeded my expectations and brought me exactly what I dared to hope for—allowing me to take my practice of art into a more more essential, integrated, and nurturing place in my life.”

The title of this workshop is inspired by the poet Galway Kinnell. In his poem “Saint Francis and the Sow,” he puts these the words “self” and “blessing” together to create “self-blessing.” With dedicated time and place, our work is a kind of “self-blessing”, and blossoms from within.
In this class, we focus on putting unlikely words together—self-blessing, mind-weeds, shadow-practice — in visual, auditory and poetic ways. We use ink, watercolor, and graphite and incorporate this work into a handmade book.

Investigating seeds is fuel for words, for paint and for pencil. Seeds awaken a sense of everything becoming something else, of the “something evermore about to be” (Wordsworth). Seeds are the promise of the new life that arises from what has gone. Seeds come from the natural world, from dreams and from ideas. A sown seed is the beginning of creativity.
In the classroom, seeds cross-pollinate.
