Celebrating Craft
MOSAIC ALCHEMY presents: “Celebrating Craft”
What is craft? What does it mean to make something with our hands, with our bodies, with our voices, with our language, with each other?
What techniques can be improved with practice? Which require spontaneity? Do we trust our instincts when creating?
How can we support each other and our communities to take artistic risks?

Safe Spots vs. The Inner Bullies; Round 1
@playnicelbc.
We all have this horrid, yuchy, inner voices. I’ve drawn mine. I’ve drawn the Safe Spots that offer comfort and solace. I’ve also printed the BULLIES on plates so we can smash them!
Yes, it’s a solo show, but I am hosting a
mosaic making on Saturday June 8th 12-5pm
so we can destroy my Inner Bullies and transform them into an uplifting mosaic for Ryan at Play Nice.
You too will have an opportunity to identify an Inner Bully…and tell it off,
and discover the truth….. because the are such LIARS. :) Game On!

Celebrating (the sometimes maddening) Creative Process
MOSAIC ALCHEMY presents: “Celebrating (the sometimes maddening) Creative Process”
Creativity is in all of us. If I can, you can. And I can.
And some days I can’t. And that doesn’t mean it's not there.
Creativity is a muscle like any other; if you don’t use it it atrophies.
Two Special Guest Presenters:
Martin Wiech - Agape Practitioner sharing YOGA LAUGHTER!
Annie Brooker - Creative working @thestoneindustry sharing MANDALA ROCK PAINTING

Free CJEA workshop - Celebrating Change!
So many of you have asked me
"What is CJEA? What is the process like?"
Creative Journal Expressive Arts was pioneered by Dr. Lucia Capacchione, as she healed herself from a potentially fatal disease. With Dr. Marsha Nelson of PROJECT INSIGHT, they began to train practitioners in 1998. We are now a respected, supportive international community.
This simple work helps us boost our immune systems and relieve stress by journaling and scribbling with our non dominant hand. The dialogues with the dominant and non dominant hand create flexibility in the corpus callosum, the part of the brain that helps us communicate between brain hemispheres. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1981/sperry/facts/
CELEBRATING CHANGE
Change is hard for most of us. Even, and especially, when we want it most. Let your Non Dominant Hand guide you. We all have this inner wisdom and BFF inside us. Spend an hour here getting to know how this tool can continue to support you.
Join me Tuesday evening , PST,
October 18th 7-8pm for a free hour workshop.
No art experience necessary.
All you need is a piece of paper and a crayon. ;)

POPPIES & PJ's . - FIELD TRIP
Join MOSAIC ALCHEMY this Sunday morning, rain or shine, to experience the Super Blooms at Lake Elsinore. Sleep another month people…..years back I explored the Poppy Reserve in Lancaster after deep rains. It’s better than the Wizard of Oz on steroids. Breathtaking is the norm!
We will explore, and preserve, taking care not to disturb or destroy the sensitive landscape.
Bring you cameras and or sketch books.
BYOB and we will provide our standard jewish brunch - Bagels, Lox, Cream Cheese
Orange is an amazing color…
and very tricky to find a variety of hues in tile and glass.
Be on the look out and start collecting now.
For those who DO show up in PJ’s, we will gift you $33 off the Mosaic Workshop later this year celebrating ORANGE.
The recommended viewing area is Walker Canyon Trail located off of Lake Street on Interstate 15 (I-15). Parking is available along Walker Canyon Road.
Can’t make it Sunday? Stay tuned…Lancaster is blooming next.

Mosaic Alchemy Open House and Studio Blessing and Breakfast
For years I’ve wanted to do a large scale banner celebrating his shrewd wisdom of Gandhi. The image of non traditional mosaic materials like salt and flowers appeared. Salt because of the significance of the SALT MARCH Gandhi lead in……. And flowers, marigolds, because of the imagery I’ve seen of Indian celebrations in vibrant oranges.
