Expose your Inner Critic

Description:

Do you have an inner commentary that disrupts your creative process? Is there a disapproving voice, a nay-sayer, that creeps in and causes doubt? In this workshop, you will use simple writing and drawing exercises to give form to your inner critic, then begin the process of dismantling its hold on your creative process. No writing or drawing experience is needed in this fun and productive workshop.
