Art for Storytelling
Art for Storytelling is a group-based therapeutic art experience using collage and storytelling to enhance connection and self-expression.

Mixed Media Intensive - Immersive Half (4 hrs) or Full Day (8 hrs)
Self Guided Workshop
All Experiences are available in-person (Knoxville, TN) & online (ZOOM)
✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
No artistic experience is required. The focus is on expression, exploration, and connection — not artistic skill. Every participant creates something meaningful, regardless of background.
-
For in-person sessions, all materials are provided.
For online workshops, a simple materials list will be emailed ahead of time, using items that are easy to gather (magazines, scissors, glue, markers, etc.).
-
Art for Storytelling is not about technique. It’s a therapeutic, guided experience that uses art-making as a pathway to reflect, connect emotions, clarify values, and explore personal narratives.
-
While the experience is therapeutic and facilitated by someone with a background in art therapy, it is not a replacement for clinical mental health treatment. It can, however, beautifully complement existing personal growth or wellness practices.
