THRESHOLD: A PERSONAL GROWTH AND ART-MAKING
EXPERIENCE FOR WOMEN
New group starting October 2011
This eight week group is designed to be both an exploration of our inner process and an outer art-making experience which will result in a personally handcrafted, illustrated book. Combining a Creative Process with an intimate Group Experience offers a profound opportunity for healing and growth. Women who are experiencing a loss, who are facing a major life transition, or are ready to journey more deeply into their inner world will find support, clarity, and direction over the course of this two month process, while having fun along the way.
Each week there will be a hands-on demo of various mixed media techniques including: stamping; embossing; paper quilting; altering photos; and making pop-ups and pull-outs. We will also look at specific topics such as: different collage options; which adhesive to use for what; setting eyelets; making fabric from paper; simple book binding; and various book design options. You will discover a creative freedom you might not know is possible.
No previous experience is necessary and if you think you don't have a creative bone in your body, this group's for you.
This group is for the woman who wants to:
- Unblock her Creativity, be more Spontaneous;
- Manage the Voice of her Inner Critic;
- Experiment with various forms of Mixed Media and Book Arts;
- Explore the Landscapes of her Inner Process; and
- Join with other women on an Adventurous, Enriching, Creative Journey.

Here is a sampling of Book Themes and Book Styles from previous THRESHOLD groups:
Carol made a scrapbook style book honoring five generations in her family, from her grandparents to her grandchildren, and in this process found her place in her family.
Rebecca experienced a healing process when she made her mixed-media book which focused on the stages of losing her hair after chemotherapy.
Ann made a gift for her husband who has Alzheimer’s, collecting photos and mementos of their many years together.
Martie altered several small children’s books using words from favorite songs and scriptures.
Sandi’s book paid tribute to her father and brother who both died in the same year.
Kay, a quilting artist, made a book that was a box within a box within a box using all of the mixed-media techniques that we used in class.
Christa made the most colorful and scrumptious book as a gift to herself.
Janet crafted a book from materials on hand and didn’t spend a dime. She threaded waxed linen through some corrugated cardboard which became the base pages for her accordion style book which captured the Spirit of her garden.
Lynne has been facilitating women’s groups since 1986. She is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice with over 25 years of experience. She is also an artist who paints abstract acrylics and has fallen madly, deeply, wildly in love with the creative process. This process has been leading her to bookmaking of late, a natural union of words and images, two of her great passions.

"I would have never thought that the world of art would have been able to help me work through some of my issues. Lynne's encouragement to explore life through art helped me connect with others and have fun at the same time while learning something new!" -PT
