Workshops
& Classes
Nate Nate Nainers’ teaching style is calm, confident, and kind. They believe everyone has an innate ability to be creative, and a unique perspective worth sharing.
Research shows that having a creative outlet relieves stress, anxiety, and depression, while building up confidence, connection, and purpose. When we’re actively creative we are better able to show up for our family, friends, community, and workplace.
Rest assured, these sessions are not group therapy. They’re an excuse to try something new, have some fun, and make some friends. Any and all benefits are serendipitous (but Nate Nate reserves the right to say I told ya so).
These workshops and classes are perfect for festivals, birthday parties, team-building, and for any group of people looking to have fun.
poetry & storytelling
Unwind and decompress by diving into the deep art forms of poetry and storytelling.
Whether we’re walking, sitting, drawing, or cracking jokes - we’ll learn to observe outer and inner environments, foster mindfulness, and how to hold space to let your imagination fly!
It’s Nate Nate’s strong belief that everyone already is a poet and a storyteller. Some of us are just more vocal about it.
Up-cycled mask-building
Relax and have fun with the playful art of mask-building.
You can turn anything into a mask; a cardboard box, found wood, a water bottle, even a paper bag!
Nainers will bring some supplies, and will teach some basic principles and techniques to help you turn your recycling into a fun lil’ bud for you or your friend’s wall.
Nainers will not be teaching traditional/ceremonial/cultural mask building.
zines & Collage
Take a load off and get funky with paper.
Bring a magazine or two to cut up, and learn how collaged images talk with each other.
Whether it’s a one page zine, or an entire chapbook, Nainers will guide participants into making a zine as a group or individuals.
If needed, Nainers will bring a printer/scanner and high quality paper so everyone can take a copy of their work home.
