For an interesting "workshop" consider inviting some friends over to deepen on a particular quote.
Mail a selected quote with your invitation or choose a theme and have each person come with a quote of their own choosing. You provide refreshments, backing boards, gloss acrylic medium, and glue. Have your guests each bring paper and fabric scissors, old magazines, and other fun elements like greeting cards, wrapping paper, rubber stamps, fabric scraps, notions and ribbon.
Set all the materials on a table or in the middle of the living room floor and begin with some music and some prayers. Encourage "parallel play." (It's what two and three-year old children do-- making your own little mess, and learning something on your own, but with the comfort of having your friend right beside you making his/her own little mess. You can glance over and talk a little while you play, maybe steal a neat idea or two without guilt, each one coming into his or her own, and reaching their own conclusion, their own finished piece.)
