ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
We are going to explore printmaking with plants. I’ll bring many different types of leaves to work with, and you’ll have ample opportunity to experiment with line, texture, and composition.
I’m at my happiest when I’m creating. I may or may not like the outcome, but the time I spend using my hands and heart and creativity are the moments that have the biggest impact on my day-to-day well-being. Even just doodling for a few minutes put me in a good spirit! The emphasis of this workshop will be play, experimenting, and having fun!
ABOUT THE WALK:
Panola Mountain State Park - this walk is easy. It is 3/4 mile along a path through the woods. It is unpaved and sometimes uneven. There are slight inclines in a few places. We’ll probably stop to take photos or observe or chat! The walk will take approximately 30-45 minutes. Wear good walking shoes. I usually wear Vans or other tennis shoes. Please note: Panola does not allow guests to walk out on the granite outcrop without a park ranger. If you are interested in doing this please reach out to them directly.
Make time for yourself! Have fun! Make new friends!
“I didn’t even know how much I needed the creative recharge I got from Christy’s workshop. I do a pretty good job of making time for my creative practice every day, so I thought I was set, but Christy brought so many new ideas and encouragement to the table (along with fun new art supplies). I would definitely recommend her workshops to any one looking for a creative boost.”

“Christy’s outdoor creativity workshop is such a delight! I so rarely get a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and tap into the playful side of creativity. This class was the perfect reminder to take time to nurture that side of myself, and she gave us helpful tools and prompts to do that!”
Meet Christy
Hi! I’ve taught hands-on creativity, art, and craft classes, workshops, and camps all over Atlanta. I was a Teaching Artist at the High Museum of Art for 10+ years, and I’ve also taught hands-on creativity workshops, activities, and camps at MODA (Museum of Design Atlanta), Clubhouse Kid & Craft, Atlanta Public Schools, Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony, Purpose Possible, Little Art School, Art on the Beltline, Paradise Garden, Agnes Scott College, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and more!
Additionally, I’ve hosted my own workshops and retreats through the Indie Craft Experience, which I co-founded in 2005 and co-owned until 2023. I’ve been an artist/crafter/maker since I was old enough to pick up a pencil and use scissors (so something like 45-ish years!).
I love sharing ideas and techniques with others, and I believe workshops are a great way to re-charge your creativity. I’m my absolute happiest when I’m making and creating. I hope to pass this joy and happiness along to others.
I look forward to making art with you!
-Christy
