new Year. More You.
What If 2026 Wasn’t About Change, But About Being More You?
January is often framed as a time to reinvent yourself. New habits. New goals. New routines.
But what if 2026 wasn’t about change—what if it was about reconnecting with who you already are?
At That Creative Space, our winter workshops are designed to offer space for creativity, reflection, and hands-on exploration—whether you’re returning to a practice or simply looking for something meaningful to do during the winter months.
If you’re looking for creative workshops in Beacon, NY this season, here are five ways to start the year by being more you.
1. Visualize What You Want
Sometimes clarity comes from slowing down long enough to ask the right questions.
These workshops invite you to reflect on what you want more of in your life—clarity, connection, joy, adventure, and to explore those ideas through hands-on making.
Our Vision Board and Bucket List Zine Making workshops create space to pause, look ahead, and give form to what matters most, using imagery, words, and collage.
Ideal for anyone who enjoys reflective, creative activities that combine thinking and making.
2. Connect With Your Inner Wisdom
Creativity can be a way of listening inward.
SoulCollage® offers a gentle, image-based process for exploring your inner landscape through personal symbolism and meaning-making. Using images and guided reflection, participants create cards that reflect different aspects of themselves and their experiences.
This workshop is open to a range of experience levels and doesn’t rely on traditional drawing or art skills—it’s about insight, not technique.
3. Move More (and Draw Differently)
If sitting still feels limiting, this one offers another way in.
Our Body-Led Movement Drawing workshop blends gentle movement with mark-making, helping participants loosen up, release tension, and approach drawing from a physical, embodied place. It’s less about “getting it right” and more about exploring how the body and hand work together.
A great option for anyone curious about movement, expression, and trying drawing in a new way.
4. Quiet the Mind Through Making
Some creative practices naturally slow everything down.
Workshops like Quilt Collage, Felt Mending, Hand Spinning, and Classic Drawing invite focused attention through repetition, texture, and observation. Whether working with soft fibers or charcoal and paper, these classes create a steady rhythm that many people find calming and grounding.
These workshops are well-suited for adults looking for screen-free, hands-on activities that allow the mind to settle while the hands stay busy.
5. Express Yourself Through Color, Shape, and Texture
For those who want to explore more freely, these workshops offer room to experiment.
Gelli Plate Printmaking and Still Life / Still Feeling: Scanner Collage invite participants to work with layers, color, movement, and form in ways that feel personal and open-ended. Each process encourages exploration and discovery, rather than a single “right” outcome.
These classes are open to all experience levels and tend to appeal to both practicing artists and creatively curious beginners.
A Winter Invitation
Winter is a natural time to turn inward—and also a great time to try something new indoors.
Our workshops and community events are designed to be welcoming, small in scale, and open to a wide range of creative backgrounds. If you’re searching for art classes for adults, creative workshops, or things to do in Beacon, NY this winter, we’d love to welcome you into the studio.
And because Hudson Valley weather can be unpredictable, we always plan for make-up dates if a class needs to be canceled due to weather—so you can register with confidence, knowing you won’t miss out.
