Welcome to Squiggles & Smocks: Creative Journeys. Creative Journeys is a monthly mixed media art class designed for adults who want to slow down, create something meaningful and reflect a bit along the way. Whether you're a total beginner or just haven't pick up a craft supply in years, you're welcome here.

Each 60–90 minute session explores mixed media techniques, all using a variety of materials and textures to create something new and unique! Participants are invited to gently reflect on the stories, memories, and seasons that shape our lives. It’s, relaxing, hands-on, low-pressure, and a great way to express yourself.

Held monthly at local Active Living Centers, these classes offer not just a creative outlet, but a chance to connect with others, with art, and maybe with a few memories you didn’t know were waiting to show up on the page.

What does a Creative Journeys class look like?

Lily pads bloom in muddy water. Fold, tear, and glue different types of paper to create a beautiful 3D lily pad landscape while reflecting on muddy moments in your life that helped you bloom.

Create a dreamy fox made with leaves, flowers, plants, and other nature elements and reflect on parts of your life make you feel wild, quiet, curious, and clever, just like a fox or consider the dreams and ambitions you have chased.

Use a variety of supplies like buttons, yard, fabric scraps etc to create a hot air balloon to consider what fuels you in your life to make you soar.
