Join illustrator Lisa Congdon to create and illustrate your very own beautiful, illustrated handmade art book. All paper and book construction materials and tools (glue, bone folders, etc) provided. We will have some limited supplies for illustrating (colored pencils and pens), but participants are encouraged to bring their own favorite illustration supplies (paint, preferred pens or pencils, paper for collage, etc). Since we are illustrating our books during the class, supplies must be analog (no digital illustration). Each student will leave class with their own gorgeous art book!

The events of the past few years have been nothing short of overwhelming. In the midst of so much turmoil and uncertainty, many of us have begun to question our work, our creative voice and our purpose. And yet finding purpose in our work — even in the smallest ways — can help us to align with our values, find the agency to impact change and motivate us to keep going. Illustrator Lisa Congdon poses the essential question: Where do I find purpose in my work now? Drawing on her own experiences of the last few years, Lisa will show how the exploration of this question can inspire us to find deeper engagement with our creativity and a stronger connection to our purpose.
