The Art of Healing
Upon first entering a room where a transformative art playshop is about to begin, one immediately senses that this is something different--very different. And fun. Amid the cornucopia of colors, you see handmade papers, streams of ribbons, variegated yarn, and deep-hued raffia. Fabrics of many textures and designs await your touch. Watercolor markers and the BIG box of crayons entice you. Beads of all shapes, made of glass, crystal, wood and bone, beckon you to play. The heady smell of craft paint and white glue may even cause you to have a first-grade flashback.
