The Toronto Artist's Way Meetup Monthly Meetup

The purpose of the group, based on the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, is for people to meet and talk about their artistic challenges in any field (painting, writing, music etc.) and encourage each other to break their creative blocks and fulfill themselves in their art. If you find people who are sympathetic, you may want to form your own group, meeting regularly to explore the book and supporting each other in their artistic journeys. I have gone through 2 such clusters and can say that it is a very powerful experience. Why not come to a meeting and see for yourself?

Make Art & New Friends! �

🎨 Art, Chat & Connect! Paper Mache Workshop & English Language Exchange Hi everyone! 🤎 I’m Sara, the founder of Papio Handmade Art Studio in Toronto. I’ve been teaching art for many years, and I really love what I do! I moved to Canada three years ago and started my own art studio here. Most of my students speak Farsi, my first language, and I love teaching them! But now, I’d also love to meet more people from different backgrounds and become more connected with the Canadian community. That’s why I decided to start this little art meetup! 🎨☕ What are we going to do? We’ll get together, learn some paper mache techniques, make something fun by hand, chat in English, and hopefully make some new friends! You don’t need any art experience. I’ll guide you step by step. What to expect * 🎨 A fun, hands-on paper mache workshop * ☕ Casual English conversation while creating * 🤝 Meeting new people and making friends * 💬 Sharing stories, cultures, and ideas * 🤎 A small, friendly group in a creative studio My English isn’t perfect either, so please don’t worry about yours! All English levels are welcome. All tools and materials are provided. You don’t need to bring anything! 🌎 Language This workshop will be held entirely in English because I’d love to practice speaking English and connect with people from different backgrounds. I also offer separate Farsi-language art classes for my Persian-speaking students. A Little About Papio At Papio, I design and create handmade furniture, sculptures, lamps, and home decor using paper mache. Every piece is my own design, made by hand without molds. I’m excited to share my creative world with you! 📸 Find Me Online Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/papio_handmade/ Website: https://papiohandmade.com Come alone or bring a friend! Let’s make art, practice English, and have a good time together! 🎨🤎 Sara — Papio Handmade
