About

Come to this playful evening class to explore doodling as a creative practice for relaxation, focus, and self-expression.

You'll experiment with simple tools while learning techniques for building shapes, patterns, and visual variety. Through guided exercises and prompts as well as free expression time, you'll discover how doodling can help spark creativity, prevent boredom, and spread joy. 

We'll talk about ways to incorporate doodling into your everyday life whether in a meeting, in school, out and about, or at home. You'll have the option to create a card to mail to a friend or family member to brighten their day.  

Come ready to relax, experiment, and see where your pen takes you!
