Hello Friends,
Long post alert! But hopefully well worth the read. I have some BIG BIG news that just may speak right to your heart! It is something that so many of you have asked me for, and so I have poured myself into creating a really special new program to kick off our brand new website launch next week! ( eeeeep! next weeek!!!)
It has been long in the works and is finally just around the corner.
Honestly, I can hardly contain myself!
...That
you could let go of trying to be perfect and simply enjoy the process
of creating? Have you dipped your toe into the sea of wild and wonderful
art mediums out there and had no clue where to begin? Looked at the
work of others and longed to find your wings? Longed to be more free?
If your heart is bursting to create and your spirit holds a message that is beyond words alone, you are in the right place! Many
of you invest so much of your heart and time into everyone else, and
leave hardly a moment to care for your own deepest needs. I understand,
because a few years ago, that was me.
I
would like to invite you to take a deep breath and think about
investing in a year long adventure that just might change your life.
Take that first brave step in making some time for YOU, for finding Joy,
nurturing your soul, and growing your creative wings! You just may find
that you have so much more to give.
It is time!
Don't let fear or doubts hold you back for one more day!
look at what these classes have done for Theresa, one of my lovely students.
" Until I met CD and took her classes I was stuck. I am a total perfectionist and I could never get my art to look the way that I wanted, so I would just get frustrated and quit. Her gentle and fun way of encouraging freedom nudged me out of my box and taught me how to let go of the boundaries I had made for myself. Now I can happily create in layers and work past the places that used to trip me up. Thank-you!" -Theresa
"In The Studio" - (12 Sessions)
$360
Join me for “In The Studio” for 12 sessions of wildly wonderful ART!
No matter where you live in the world, you can now
take a virtual step
into my studio to learn just like my local students do each week!! Every session we will explore a whole new set of mediums, surfaces, and
techniques. I am SO excited to see what you will create and how
you're
going to grow!
For
as long as I can remember, ART has been for me, a passion from the
depths of my soul. I would love to spend these 12 sessions walking along side
you, my friends for whom ART isn’t simply a way to fill a few hours, but
a passion
and a way to pour out heart and soul. I believe that investing time to
develop a craft that you are passionate about is ALWAYS time well
spent!
It
gives you the confidence and skills that you need to go far beyond
techniques and express yourself in a way that truly comes from deep
within. This will give a voice to your thoughts,
feelings, and dreams over the next year. I hope to help guide you to
great possibilities, and cheer you on as you develop your own style of
expression!!
Every session we will cover new skills, you will learn through...
- videos with me in my studio, teaching you just like I would if you were right beside me
- written directions, and vibrant photos for those who learn better that way
- Lots of fun printables & worksheets
- Ideas shared between classmates in our Private message board discussions
and we will practice all of that fabulous learning with a HUGE variety of projects and art pieces!
We
have both men and women, boys and girls, moms, dads, and even
grandparents who take these studio classes! They are taught in a way
that encourages and appeals equally to...
*Adults who long to create and want to increase their freedom,
*Kids who have such a deep passion for art they can't wait one minute more to get their hands dirty,
*Homeschool families looking for an art class to do together,
*Parents who do these classes with their child to share a common skill and create a special time together,
*and those who just need to let the stress of the workday roll away as they get lost in the art.
"When
I first signed up for art class, with my daughter, I did so very
begrudgingly. I signed up to bond with my preteen. I did not think I
would be any good at it or possibly that I wouldn't even like it very
much. For the first class I was quite nervous, and almost didn't want
to be there. Before that first class was done my attitude completely
reversed! Miss C.D. put me at ease right away, and gently encouraged me
to find my inner me. As a Mom, a Wife, a Co-worker, you sometimes
forget who that really is. I found that Miss C.D. gently stretched me,
just a little out of the box I had put myself in. I soon found that I
could literally feel the stress from the day/week melt right off. Not
only did it effect the day that art class was on, I found it affected
every day. Soon I was seeing the prettier side to life, seeing art
possibilities where I wouldn't have looked before! My original bonding
with my daughter goal has definitely been achieved. My daughter and I
are constantly coming up with art ideas, and stealing little bits of
time to art it up!"
-Colleen
I
have watched as students like Colleen have gone from tentative and
cautious to carefree and SO excited for the next class. It is such an
honor to be a small part of that journey and I want to invite YOU to be a
part of it too! No matter where you fall, encouraging parent, or
cautious perfectionist, I would Love to see what would happen for you if
you made this little step to invest in yourself. Purely, beautifully,
time for you to nurture your spirit and take that deep breath you have
been waiting for.
Blessings to you

Once I register for the class, how long will I have to take all of the lessons?
We
firmly believe that once you pay for a class it should be yours for
keeps. I would encourage you, if you can, to try and join in with the
community as we go month to month together, it definitely enriches the
experience to share ideas and journey the year together! But that is
your choice for sure. Life can be a roller coaster so please take in
the content as quickly or slowly as you need to make it something that
nurtures your spirit.
If I have questions as I go how will I have access to my instructor?
We
have been hard at work on our new website that will have a class
message board accessible only to course members, you can pop in there
24/7 and ask me questions, or share ideas with your classmates!
I’m not sure how on-line classes work. Are the classes LIVE? Do I have to be at my computer at a scheduled time?
The
classes are self paced, meaning you don’t have to be anywhere at any
given time to make it to class! This is YOUR experience to have when it
suits YOU best! There are no specific times of day that you need to be
online, you can log in whenever you want and have access to all of the
lessons that have been posted. You can choose to sign in to the
classroom each day, once a week, or even just one a month. No matter
how often you join the class, the content, classmates and instructor
will be ready to welcome you!
We have a space set up to do art in a different location than our computer, do we need to be at our PC to watch the lessons?
Not
at all! You can access the classroom and videos from a tablet or an
iphone etc. Feel free to take us with you wherever you can enjoy the
class time most.
I'd love to buy this class as a gift for my daughter/grandson/loved one. How can I sign them up?
It's easy! Simply email us at thislittlelightclasses@gmail.com and we will take care of creating a special (and eye catching) gift certificate for you to give your special someone.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes!
We understand that this course is an investment, to make it easier on
students who are feeling that this is just what they need but may not be
able to spend the full year amount all at once, we have an option to
pay for this class in 3 monthly installments of $120.
This is all new to me, what kinds of supplies am I going to need?
This
is a year of exploring and using many different mediums. The nice
thing about having new topics in each session is that you can space out your
supply gathering over the course of the class! Have no fear I WILL NOT
leave you lost and confused wandering the aisles of the art store. In each session, you will see the supplies list of what we
will be working with....I am a pretty resourceful kind of girl and don't spend big bucks on
supplies if it is not needed. So, I am very happy to share what I have
learned over the years and walk you through what the quality and cost
options are. Then you can make an informed choice about what you want to
spend, and where you can save. I hope this will be a excellent
resource to you as you learn how to work with all of my favorite yummy
art goodies!
