Past participant comments::
“Robyn is a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher. Her class, 'Creative Kickstart', helped me to examine where I'm coming from with my art. It challenged me to think creatively in a variety of ways. The class encouraged me to be more self-aware, self-forgiving and to expand my borders when thinking creatively. Robyn gives lots of positive feedback for all art styles and skill levels.”
“The class is definitely for you if you like to both play and be challenged. Making yourself think outside the box opens up all sorts of possibilities. Robyn is energetic, supportive, creative, and fun. She brings out the best in you.”

About the Class: Create Your Own Family Story Necklac. e Do you have beloved ancestral jewelry languishing in your jewelry box waiting to be celebrated and adored again? Your mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters have shared special adornments and heirlooms with you. Sort through those pendants, charms, talismans, single earrings, rings, bracelets, chains, etc., dust them off, and bring them to this simple jewelry making class. Your Family Story necklace (and earrings & bracelets) will hold your favorite pieces that remind you that your mothers are still with you and that love never dies. This is a simple jewelry-making class, so don’t be intimidated! I will provide instruction, demonstrations, sterling chain and findings, and vintage Swarovski beads. There’s lots to play with as you arrange and assemble your rich, story-filled necklace. This will give you an introduction to “how to” create jewelry so that you can use other treasures to create Story Necklaces for others in your family. As you consider your necklace, think about your loved ones’ favorite colors; perhaps that can give you a direction to start imagining which of your treasures you will choose (for this necklace). I will have a plethora of vintage Swarovski crystal beads to match almost any color you might have in mind! What fun you’ll have as you sort through your treasures! And again, when you create your necklace, you may share a story or two with others. Bring whatever jewelry calls to “take me!” We won’t use them all, but they’ll at least be there for the party. Play with your intuition. That’s all assemblage jewelry is: playing with one’s imagination (and one’s fodder) and using a few simple techniques. Just to be sure you know: I am an assemblage artist, not a metal smith nor a lapidarist. I will offer cold connection assemblage jewelry instruction. But we won’t be able to repair, solder, etc. what you bring. I can show you how to turn some pins into pendants, but that’s about it. If you want to include a special pendant, etc, in need of repair, please have that repair done before the class. I have some jewelry tools to share. We’ll need needle-nose pliers, flat nose pliers, round needle nose pliers, and a wire cutting tool. If you have any, please bring them along also. Otherwise, we may share tools as well as stories! Our mothers still celebrate us. Let’s circle to celebrate them! This will be an intro to simple jewelry assemblage. No previous skills necessary. Sense of adventure and exploration are necessary!
Supplies: I provide basic sterling silver components (chain, findings, clasps) as well as vintage Swarovski crystals. Students will bring their treasured jewelry pieces to add their stories to their necklace. Students also need to bring needle-nose pliers, flat nose pliers, round needle nose pliers, and wire cutting tool. $100. materials fee to be paid directly to Kate.
Artist Bio: Kate Stockman was born in Charleston, SC, where natives say we are a lot like the Chinese, "We eat lots of rice and worship our ancestors." Because of this passion, Kate has developed different classes to honor our mothers and grandmothers. She loves telling and hearing stories. We all have lots of them. Join any of Kate's classes to share something about your story!

About the Class: Relationships are one of the most rewarding — as well as the most frustrating aspects of our lives. Whether in intimate or work settings, the quality of our relationships has an enormous impact on the quality of how we live, our self-esteem, and our careers. Yet, we often find the behavior of others baffling — even if we have known them intimately for many years. Often, the things we do not understand in others are the greatest sources of problems and conflicts in our relationships. Clearly, the better we know ourselves and the people in our lives, the more harmonious and satisfying our relationships will be. This is a workshop for Couples. Couples will work together to connect through Somatic Art. We will access areas where the individual may be blocked from their artistic expression and how the couple may find a deeper connection through artistic communication. Using tools from EMDR/Bilateral Stimulation, Enneagram Typing/Character types, and IBSR Somatic mapping each participant will create a deeper connection with themselves and others.
We will remove unhealthy stress and open up the artist's palette to physical expressions of color, mental descriptors, and balancing of the art/science part of our brain, or organized side while opening it up to the fully self-expressed side. We will remove barriers to creativity and discover what artwork best suits you.
We will help participants recognize personal strengths as well as to uncover the blind spots that they bring to their relationships. If you want to improve your relationship with a spouse, child, friend, business associate, or family member, this Workshop will be invaluable.
What skills, experience or pre-requisites are required for this class?
Pre-req's teacher will send some materials via email for participants to fill out at least 24 hours before class. Participants will bring, tissue, a journal, favorite pens, pencils, and markers.

Join us on the third Sunday of every month to play with collage art and take a short creative break at our Sunday Collage & Play. No experience necessary.
Creating art is just playing with materials. Most of us might already have our supplies ready and organized, but just don't have or take the time to play and create! This free Sunday session offers the time, space, and supplies to encourage playing and creating to anyone who is interested in exploring the paper collage medium.
The instructor will provide an embarrassment of collage supplies (including magazines, catalogs, glue sticks, etc.) to get folks started. Attendees can bring something they're already working on, their own images, magazines, etc. (please also bring your own scissors!) Prompts will be offered, but it's completely up to you what you want to collage! This is a casual gathering to bring community together to create art and everyone is welcome to join! Bring a friend!
This event is free but requires registration. There is a $5.00 usage fee that will be collected.

Prior to COVID, she traveled the world training clinicians in the most advanced somatic psychology processing tools available. Now retired from the Mental health profession as a licensed clinician, she has found a way to disrupt behavioral health and the art world by bringing what was once used only in a clinical setting to treat unhealthy stress to the mainstream.

She also teaches real estate agents how to apply stress-reducing tools to the art of communication between buyers and sellers of property.
