With guidance from artist Breanna Shanahan, challenge yourself to create 10 drawings or watercolor artworks in 30 minutes and a short exercise with clay.
This workshop helps practice mindfulness and steps away from the preciousness of a single idea, instead fostering healthy habits rooted in making.
