Weekly Class Timetable

Last week we shared all about the weekly live classes, (click here to read last weeks exPress to find out more).

Here’s the timetable:

This is in Eastern Standard Time, but you you’ll be able to find a calendar for different time zones in the dXing space or on our Instagram and Facebook pages (coming soon). Let us know if your time zone is missing and we can create a new timetable for you.

Here’s a sneak peek of Helen LP’s upcoming class:

“… made using Procreate stamp brushes I made several years ago. […] it was so easy. The bear above is a single stamp - I can stamp the whole image into any canvas […] I've made stamps representing landscapes, flowers, lots of animals and my dog!  Really excited to show you how to do this.” - Helen LP

But don’t worry if you don’t have an iPad – most of what Helen will be teaching in her classes can also be done on paper and she’ll be giving you some guidance on how to do that.

March Odd Day Creative Challenge

In the dXing space and on our Instagram and Facebook pages we shared the above odd day prompts so that every odd day in March we could encourage and inspire each other to create something: a drawing, a painting, micro fiction, a haiku, a poem…

Why Odd Days?
Firstly, we’re all a little odd around here and we feel like that’s something to celebrate!
Secondly, it’s easy to fall behind with daily challenges so we felt every other day had a nicer cadence, and a chance to spend a bit more time exploring what each prompt might inspire, or time to catch up and jump in at any point. We’re wondering if next time we do a challenge a weekly prompt might be fun, what do you think?

The dXing space and on our social media pages have been full of creations, and it’s been so wonderful to see how unique we all are in our interpretations of a word or image and what that pulls from our creative wells. Here’s a few highlights:

1: Calm

Walking dogs and just their presence inspire a sense of calm.
