BOX STORIES


This was one of the first boxes created by artist and E&M Founder, Adrienne Fritze, and is about her relationship with her brother - 10 years her senior. The box panels each have a unique face painted on it representing the many viewpoints throughout the years the artist has held about him. In the end, she acknowledges, and is thankful for, the gift that is her brother.

WORKSHOP | Strengthening the Bonds of Love
14 FEBRUARY 2008 - 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

You love the people in your life. Yet, sometimes, it seems as though the more intimate the relationship is, the more difficult it is to be fully self-expressed with those people most important to us. Maybe there's an unspoken tension between you about certain topics [money, intimacy, family], or an outright breakdown when a conflict or need arises. Wouldn't it be a relief to be able to be exactly who you are, say what you need to say with love and integrity? To be powerful without being defensive or aggressive? To be able to confront others even when confrontation is not something you do well?

This workshop will begin a process for you that has offered lasting freedom to hundreds of people, in a wide variety of circumstances, in their relationships--at home, work and play.

Please join us...

Working Artists Studios invites you to join us for the applied arts workshop, Strengthening the Bonds of Love on Saturday, Feburary 14th, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

In this workshop we explore the power point-of-view has in your life, and discover the resulting beliefs that get in the way of you having the relationships that make up the life you dream of--with yourself, your family and friends, even your higher power. Once uncovered, you have the opportunity to create a new, empowering point-of-view that will shift your experience of your life - forever.

Workshop includes:

  • an art and conversational journey designed to have us see and set aside the barriers in the way of having profoundly loving relationships.
  • all art materials needed to create the wooden box collages
  • exhibition of the work at Working Artists Gallery in March (on a voluntary basis only – not required)
  • heartwork, to take what you learn in this workshop out in to the world

The workshop is $65 per person (includes a $5 materials fee). Class size is limited to 20 participants. Call Working Artists at 503.349.6075 to register today, or register through PayPal below.

Workshop Outline
The intent of the workshop is to explore our personal truths about ourselves and the people in our lives, and to create new empowering beliefs that shift the quality of our relationships and our experience of life. We do this by exploring our beliefs - examining our relationships, looking at where they are today, seeing what works and what doesn't in the light of what we say we are committed to having in those relationships and in our life.
The process of inquiry has the following steps:
