what is unbound?

UNBOUND is a guided creative experience designed to remove barriers and give you everything you need to start benefiting from creativity for your mental wellness. Each time, the Unbound experience will include a curated box of supplies and detailed video tutorials from an experienced artist.

Taking time to do something you enjoy, especially something creative, can positively benefit your mental health— but it can be difficult to know where to start or how to find the time. Life can move quickly with schedules, to-do lists, daily tasks, and unexpected things that pop up. We spend more and more time on our phones, computers, in meetings, or scrolling— and less time doing what truly brings us joy. We hope UNBOUND helps you break through these barriers to creativity by offering guided experiences and creative projects that are:

- appealing yet approachable
- guided yet freeing
- calming yet fun

Every few months, we will release new fun, approachable projects with a valuable creative experience that we hope will leave you feeling encouraged, enlightened, and UNBOUND.

learn more about this project

Mindfulness is a state of being fully present in what you are doing, leaving outside distractions behind, allowing relaxation and calm. Mark-making is one way to facilitate a state of mindful awareness. In this box, we’ll take a wonderful trip through the relaxing world of mark-making as we couple shimmery pearlescent watercolor brushstrokes with fun patterns and layers using opaque gel pens in metallic and blue hues.

With the contents of this box, Lori will help you explore a variety of mark-making techniques, prompts, and styles including majestic mosaics featuring repeating patterns with geometric and organic shapes by drawing inspiration from the various shapes and patterns all around us. No drawing skills required! If you can make a mark on a page, you can do this project!

With Lori’s detailed guidance, you’ll finish the course with a sketchbook of ideas, marks and patterns to use and explore further, including making beautiful art pieces and unique note cards to share, frame or simply enjoy for yourself.
