Pumpkin Decorating at Common Room Studio!

Yay October! We have a bunch of fun workshops coming up at my studio space, Common Room Studio, that I wanted to let you know about! If you’re in the DC area, we’d absolutely love for you to join us. We’ll be decorating some pumpkins, of course, and we’re also hosting a DIY upholstery workshop, a manifestation workshop to help you achieve your dreams, and a brush lettering workshop! Come hang out with us – and learn a new skill while you’re at it. It’ll be so fun!

First up, pumpkin decorating! I’m so excited to offer not one but TWO pumpkin decorating opportunities at Common Room Studio this year – one weekend workshop and one weeknight workshop. Come to whichever workshop works for your schedule, or come to both for maximum pumpkin fun!

I’m offering a pumpkin decorating workshop on October 13 focused on making these fun Matisse-inspired pumpkins that I shared as a DIY tutorial last year, and Samantha from Painted Palettes is offering a DIY hand lettered pumpkin workshop on October 16! We’ll supply all the necessary materials and a variety of pumpkin sizes for you to decorate. Light sips and snacks will be served, and you’ll head home with beautiful seasonal décor. Sign up for our Matisse pumpkin workshop here and Samantha’s hand lettered pumpkin workshop here!

If you’d like to expand your DIY skill set, come learn upholstery with Nicole Crowder on October 7 with the amazingly talented Nicole Crowder! Nicole will teach you how to properly and safely tear down and reassemble chairs using certain tools, how to calculate the fabric and yardage necessary for various projects, materials needed for padding and upholstering, and short cuts to help achieve the job with maximum results. Plus, you’ll be able to take your completed project home with you! Sign up right here!

Learn the essential magical philosophies and practices you need to manifest your dreams with Catie of MoonHaven School of Magic on October 14! Incorporating scientific and psychological models with lessons from spiritual wisdom traditions around the world, this workshop intensive will change the way you think about magic, manifestation, and your role in shaping the life you live. Bring a journal and a sense of adventure for this afternoon of self-transformation. Sign up right here!

Want to learn the beautiful art of modern brush lettering? Join Michele of Meant to Be Calligraphy at Common Room Studio on October 21! Michele will show you how to use brushes, brush pens, and different types of ink and paint to create gorgeous brush lettering with a modern twist. You’ll learn how to create the expressive thick and thin brush strokes that set brush lettering apart from both regular handwriting and modern calligraphy. Plus, you’ll go home with all the materials you’ll need to continue practicing and showing off your new brush lettering skills. Sign up right here!

Hope to see you there!

If you’d like to learn about more upcoming workshops and events at Common Room Studio, sign up for our newsletter right here!

Jennifer Ament: www.jenniferament.com.

[CreativeMornings (CM)] How do you define creativity and apply it in your career? [Jennifer Ament (JA)] An ability to think outside the box and push the boundaries of normalcy can be one form of creativity, or getting unstuck from thinking one way about yourself and your pursuits. The creatives I admire have humor in their work and push through their fear. It is constant evolution, to push through stagnancy, beyond how you have limited yourself in your mind.

[CM] Where do you find your best creative inspiration? [JA] My reactions…to everything. Mainly societal movements, cosmic energies, and the natural world. My process isn’t always linear. The encaustics are an exploration in feeling.

[CM] What’s the one creative advice or tip you wish you’d known as a young person? [JA] I wish that I had believed that I was good enough to make the leap to create earlier in my life. I would start something, and not feel good at it right away, and so I would stop doing it. We tell ourselves we need to feel good at something right away to keep doing it, and the reality is most of us suck at most things until we do them over and over again.

[CM] Who would you like to hear speak at CreativeMornings? [JA] Louise Bourgeois, Kim Gordon, Winston Churchill, Maxine Watters, Henry Rollins

[CM] What myths about creativity would you like to set straight? [JA] For some reason we have been taught that there are only a few paths to creativity, and that you have to be born an artist or born creative. That you have to get a BFA or go to a certain school, or even been traumatized to be creative. But it is your work ethic and how often you do the work that keeps propelling you forward in your creativity. You can suck for years but there is no way your work can’t evolve and get better if you remain committed to trying. If you trick yourself into believing you are not good enough, you will lose hope. The "I Have No Creative Bone in my Body" excuse is all bullshit. If it feels creative to you, it is fucking creative. If you envision a career based on milestones and money, that is different. Career path and creativity are two separate things. Success is being happy with doing what you love. It was a year into my creative process, after having committed the time and space to create my work, that lead me to feel capable after many years of not feeling capable. It took a while. It is not automatic. Making the time forces you to be better.

[CM] What's the most recent thing you learned (big or small)? [JA] Restraint. Restraint with imagery. Restraint with words. Restraint with my own thoughts. The failure in my lack of restraint has taught me restraint.
