I want to make sure that you not only acquire the technical skills and understand the techniques, but that you learn my process for tuning into the moment, and dancing between artistic principles and an intuitive approach that makes your art practice meaningful. A mindful art practice has given me the gift of tuning into the beauty throughout my day. Each of these moments I notice is like a little gift, I want to share this way of seeing with you and help you translate it into your unique paper cutting vision and way of letting the light into your life.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Is this class art therapy?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_level=&#8221;h5&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Montserrat|700|||||||&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>This class is not art therapy.
