Get into Flow with Soft Pastels It’s the desire for perfection that prevents so many people from enjoying the art-making process. During this class, you’ll learn techniques to release yourself from perfectionism. I’ll teach you ways to free yourself from the criticism and control of the ego. This freedom, in turn, will allow you to enter the beautiful state of flow. Sun Jun 1 3:00pm - 5:00pm Thorp Building Arts $68 https://nemaa.org/events/get-into-flow-with-soft-pastels/ (fb)
