52 Weeks With you is a self paced guide to family art and you guessed it there is a weekly art activity so you can get creative for a full year! Also included are all the details and necessities to set you up for rich, quality creative time because i know there will be questions. Family of course means anyone you are connected to, blood, bond or sweet friendship; so grab someone you love and get creative together!

There are so many reasons to be creative with others, it’s a fabulous way to increase quality time, learn about each other, be playful, expressive and be challenged. Its an ideal way to jump off screens and problems solve and have fun together. Trust me there is a lot to say about relational artmaking and family art and you can listen to a full podcast episode on the topic here; if you need a little extra convincing.

But you might already recall the times you’ve spent baking with a parent, wrangling the recycling into a robot on a rainy winters day or creating wonky but joy filled Christmas decorations with your spouse. Perhaps you love art and want to bring that joy to the people you care most about. Once you experience the richness of making art in company or in collaboration with others, you will be looking to build family art into your life more regularly.

And in-case you overlooked the first sentence, family literally refers to anyone you have a connection with. You can make art with siblings, parents, children, spouses, friends, flatmates and even work colleagues!

The how to’s and the what’s are exactly why i wrote this guide 52 Weeks With You. You don’t need to think of all the different activities, or the things needed or how to answer your best friends anxiety about being good enough. I have done it all for you. The guide has a fresh activity for each week of the year and lots of additional information to answer all your questions and get you ready to start, including what materials to stock up on and how to solve any difficulties so all you have to do is make family art.  Read the product description below to find out exactly whats included.
