Sleepy Sunday: Nostalgic Drawing & Poetry
July 17, 2022

Join Sleepy Sue for a free online event where facilitator Janelle Ketcher will lead the group in letting nostalgia inspire and guide our creativity. All ages, creative comfort levels, and abilities are welcome for this hour long workshop. Through a guided drawing activity and a poetry prompt we will collectively take a moment to slow down, tap into our senses, celebrate our imagination, and create. The goal is not to make “good” art but rather play and express. Please come prepared with one photograph, printed or digital, that you feel personally connected with.
