Creativity for Neurodivergent Artists (creative writers, artists and musicians welcome).
Van 50.06 $ /h
This workshop is designed to empower neurodivergent artists by providing tools and techniques to tap into their unique creative processes. Neurodivergent individuals—whether living with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or other cognitive differences—often approach creativity in non-linear, innovative ways. This class embraces and celebrates those differences, offering a supportive space to explore, experiment, and collaborate.
Participants will be guided through a series of creative exercises that focus on unlocking new ways of thinking, finding flow, and transforming perceived challenges into artistic strengths. We will explore topics such as overcoming creative blocks, adapting work environments for sensory needs, and finding inspiration through unconventional sources. This class encourages the use of visual arts, poetry, storytelling, music, and movement, allowing each artist to express themselves authentically.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your practice, this workshop aims to build confidence and foster a sense of community among neurodivergent artists, helping them unlock their full creative potential.
Key Takeaways:
- Practical strategies for embracing and enhancing creative processes as a neurodivergent artist.
- Techniques for managing focus, sensory overload, and creative burnout.
- Opportunities for collaboration and building a supportive network with fellow neurodivergent artists.
- Exploration of how neurodivergent perspectives can enrich artistic expression.
- This class is open to artists of all mediums and experience levels.
I teach out of a cosy and very friendly cafe but it can get busy and occasionally, rather noisy. If you are concerned that this might be overwhelming, I am happy to travel to a location that better suits your sensory needs
