Survey-Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions for Fall 2022

Greetings, Everyone,

As many of you know, I am a mixed media artist and teacher.

 

Since the Fall of 2021, I have been offering Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions.

 

These are one-hour mixed media art classes that pack a punch.

 

There is laughter and socializing, as well as a lot of fun artful mess making.

 

If you are interested in learning more, I invite you to fill out this survey and weigh in on your preferences for Fall 2022.

Thanks so much!

 

Feel free to tell your friends who may also be interested in class.

 

To clarify, these sessions happen from home via your computer.

You are given a supply list in advance, so you can gather what you need prior to class.

Here's what past participants are saying:

"Artist Zoom Play Dates are a fun and safe way to grow in my art practice.  We try new things and Briana provides both connections for participants to go deeper on a topic and recorded directions for those that need to review.  I love this art community that I can join from my basement art space."

-Deborah 

"I so enjoyed the Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions. I learned so much and I became more open and comfortable in my own abilities. It was great to see the same participants each time. Briana gives really good instructions and shares so many additional resources."

"I always learn so much from Briana. Her passion is infectious and it always inspires me! Her classes are also engaging and fun and always a no pressure just play environment."

"I highly recommend the Live Zoom Art Play Dates with Briana. Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week! Briana makes it fun, and I learned so much each week. Also, I enjoy working with the other participants and sharing."

"Briana'a weekly Zoom Art Play Dates have been a highlight of my weeks. I've learned so many new techniques and had a lot of fun! Briana's focus on the process rather than the outcome is so supportive . . . . really frees me up to just dive right in."

Thank you for taking care of yourself through creativity and community. I truly can not think of a better way to get through these challenging times.

I honor you and am so grateful to be here with you.

With Gratitude,

Briana
