Virtual Workshop Series presents:

Make and Bake

Beginner Polymer Clay Workshop

9:00 - 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
May 30, 2021

This workshop is for beginners! Though if you have experience already with polymer clay, you too will fit right in!

I will be teaching you how to make what’s called a “cane” (a pattern you will create with clay in order to make unique designs). Once we make a cane, we will be able to use this design to make things such as bracelets, earrings or other crafts. I’ll teach you how to blend colors as well as how to bake and harden your polymer clay! This type of clay is used among many professionals.

Lastly, I’ll be giving advice regarding the types of glue to be used, designs, cutters, and knots!

As always, there will be calming music to get us in the mood, and time to check in with each other as well.

I look forward to seeing you!

Reminders: polymer clay must be purchased separately, link below for deals and quick shipping on amazon!

See you there!

Virtual Tumbler Painting Workshop!

I will be teaching you how to re-vamp those tumblers of yours that have been hanging out in your cabinet or pantry! This could work on water bottles as well.

All you need:

• Acrylic paint (I use craft paints- found at your nearest craft store!)

• Paint brushes

• Water

• Clear finishing spray (I bought mine from Home Depot, though you could find this at a craft store as well. You do NOT need this for the workshop- though it would be used the next day when your paint dries, to make it permanent.)

I look at my new tumbler now, and it brings me so much joy! And flowers make me happy. How about you? What makes you happy?

I will teach you how I created these flowers, and we will paint together, while listening to relaxing music and checking in with each other. Come and play! I hope to see you :)

When you purchase your ticket, I will send you a zoom link to your email!

Virtual Workshop Series presents:

Rainbows and Sprinkles!

January 31st, 1:00 - 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time

This is me giving you permission to take a break, and come play with me and our creative community.

Rainbows bring me so much joy, which is why I‘d like to share this love of mine with you!

We will be creating non-traditional rainbows with whatever you have at home.

This could include: pens, pencils, colored pencils, paint, paint pens, markers, or crayons, and of course, some paper or fabric.

We will start the workshop with a short meditation to bring ourselves into the moment, attempting to let go some of the worries and stressors on our minds.

There will be moments in between where we will check-in with each other. You can work with your screen on or off :)

WORKSHOP TICKET PRICE:

$25 USD

After your payment is confirmed, you will be asked to go “Back to Merchant.” Please click this button, as you will be redirected to a Zoom registration page to register for the event.

Feel free to check out some of my rainbow art!

The one on the left was done with markers on journaling paper, the one on the right was craft paint on canvas! It’s such a relaxing process.

I hope to see you there!

This Weekend

Sunday, May 10th, 1-3pm Eastern Standard Time

Found Object Collage Workshop, inspired by Carol Scarlett! 

Welcome to week 6 of my Virtual Workshop series! This week, to continue our theme of creating using things we may already have in our home, I thought it would be great to try something new. There are many famous artists that create beautiful pieces of art using found objects, my supervisor Simone Alter-Muri expressed. And we even have an artist in our midst who inspires me with her work! Carol has attended quite a few of these workshops, and while getting to know her style, she has really inspired me to give this a try. Below is a found object collage by Carol Scarlett.

In this workshop, we will also continue to explore parts of ourself, including our protectors and inner children. As adults, when do we really get time to play? Below, I played around with objects I found in my home. As you can see… it looks playful and childish, in a good way! But honestly, my workshops are about the process, not the outcome (a big part of what Art Therapy is all about). Though you may be pleasantly surprised with your final product!

What you could use:

• Any random knick knack you can find!

• glue / Modge podge / homemade glue

• paintbrush

• trash

• uncooked pasta

• buttons

• magazines / newspapers

• sticks / flowers / grass

• small stones

• plastic wrap / aluminum foil

• corks

• tacks

• hair clips

• paperclips

• scraps of fabric / old clothes / socks

• thread

• bottle caps

• paint

I look forward to seeing you :)

It’s that time again!

Welcome to week 5 of my Virtual Workshop Series! This week we will be printmaking with supplies from the kitchen! The supplies you will need are below.

• A potato / carrot / celery / or apple

• A knife

• A handmade book / paper / paper bag / or canvas

• Acrylic paint

• Paintbrushes

• A Cup / jar of water

• Newspaper

• A chopstick / pen / or pencil

This week’s workshop is FREE, and will be taking place this Sunday from 1-2:30pm EST on Zoom. We will be talking a little more about parts of ourselves that we are starting to notice! For me, I have a distractor part always trying to get me to craft while I’m working! Do you have a distractor part? Or maybe a self-critic part telling you, you could have done better, or that you’re not doing enough? Let me tell you… these workshops are about the process of creating and connecting with people who are going through similar things with similar parts. 

Anyone can join, especially if it’s your first time. Don’t be afraid! This is an extremely welcoming group with new people joining each week. I would love to have you and support you all the way through.

Below are images of potato prints I made!

I hope to see you,

Hello everyone!

Welcome to week 3 of my virtual workshop series! Next Sunday, April 26th 1-3PM EST, I will be teaching you how to create a simple book. After creating the book, we will be exploring some parts of ourselves through mediation, and following up with some drawing prompts in your new journal! You will need only a few easy materials:

• Cereal box or construction paper or a paper bag

• Printer paper

• Needle

• Thread

• Thumb tack

• Scissors

• Pen or pencil

The following Sunday, May 3rd, we will be printmaking on and inside the books! If you do not come to this simple book workshop, but would like to come to the printmaking workshop, you can print on other materials. The May 3rd workshop will also be FREE. I have decided to do a free workshop once a month. 

Below are images of a simple book I created while attending the Expressive Therapies Summit in NYC last November. This is the style book we will be creating together. 

Hope to see you there :)

Welcome to my Virtual Workshop Series!

For the past two years, I have been facilitating Mandala Stone Painting workshops all over Vermont and Massachusetts. This time, it will be in the comfort of your own home! You will not need stones to participate, paper and pens/pencils/markers will do just fine too! I will teach you how to do both.

I will be leading with instructions and a meditation to get our bodies and mind ready to create. For this workshop you will need:

• If you’re painting mandala stones

  • two stones

  • acrylic paint or sharpies

  • paintbrushes of different sizes / paperclips / skewers / toothpicks or nail art dotting tools

  • Recycled cloth / paper towel

  • Jar / cup with water

• If you’re drawing mandalas

  • paper, or wood pieces

  • sharpies or pens/pencils/markers

Instructor: Gabrielle Hayward

Above and below are some examples of stones I have painted. I look forward to seeing you!

This Sunday, I will be hosting a Virtual Collage Workshop from 1:00pm - 3:00pm. We will be using materials such as magazines, newspapers, tissue paper, markers, paint and gently exploring parts of ourselves through this process. Below is an example of what collaging can turn into! If you don’t have any kind of glue… There is a way to make your own homemade glue!

I do recognize that Easter is this Sunday, so no worries if you cannot make it. Enjoy that time with your family. For those of you who can, I look forward to seeing you! There is no fee to this workshop, though donations are welcome!

Instructor: Gabrielle Hayward

I will be hosting a virtual flag making workshop, using an app. called ZOOM! I will be helping everyone find or make alternative materials to work with, if you don’t have materials such as paint or paintbrushes. This workshop will be 2 hours long, and you will need to gather supplies before the workshop begins. These flags can be hung inside or outside! Check out my promo video up top to see if this is something that interests you.

The REGISTRATION & PREPARATION link will have instructions to register through ZOOM, as well as how to prep for the workshop. Please reach out if you have questions, or if you need help.
