1:30–3:00 PM | Contemplative Collage-Making with Ashley Blanton (@faint.as.fog)
This guided workshop offers a calm, reflective space to engage in intuitive collage-making as a contemplative creative practice. Participants will have time for both independent exploration and group reflection, using simple materials to cultivate presence and self-expression. No prior art experience is required.
