Classes and Workshops
I've been called a Creativity Midwife and I appreciate that identity. My joy is to support others in coming to their creative selves, already within them. I've found that creating a "safe container" is a big part of allowing that to happen. The tender right brained, creative self has to feel free of the left brained critic. Over my 45+ years of teaching I have discovered ways to access that creative core just wanting to rise to the surface.
My studio here in Quakertown is a great classroom. I’m available to work one on one (or via zoom) or create a group class on any subject a client might be interested in. I also work one on one for solo retreats that can last for 2-3 days. This can also be done via zoom. If you’d like to be on my mailing list for anything art related, please let me know: arla@arlapatch.com

WOMEN'S NIGHT OUT: a workshop I’ve done for the Michener Museum in Doylestown, PA. This is a fun workshop that can be done with a group of friends, parents and kids, or mothers and daughters, etc. It’s a one session workshop that needs no experience. You can make a tile or a light switch cover. It teaches the “coil drawing” technique that I created. Reach out to arla@arlapatch.com
