Your creativity is a living thing, like a garden. Like a garden, it needs care to thrive throughout the seasons. Too often, we expect inspiration to appear on its own, without tending to the soil it grows in: our inner life.
The Artist's Garden is a guided journey into nurturing your creative self. Through reflective practices, and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how it's possible to:
Plant new seeds of possibility by reconnecting with curiosity and play
Feed your energy and imagination with practices that bring joy
Weed out creative obstacles like self-doubt, perfectionism and burn-out
Bring your self-expression to fruition with more ease
This workshop isn't about forcing productivity. It's about creating the conditions where your art can naturally flourish. You will leave with some new personal tools and practices to help sustain your creativity after the class is over. Any necessary supplies will be provided by instructor.

Fee: $210.00

Susan's Classes

Armed with a BFA from UC Santa Barbara, a vintage truck and camper, and big dreams, Susan Saul set out across the country in the winter of 1980 to make a life for herself in Georgia. What began as an adventure that December has grown into a lifelong creative journey.

Susan first built her career as a printmaker and mixed-media artist, creating original artwork for residential and commercial spaces nationwide. But when jewelry making captured her heart, everything changed. She dove into her new craft through community arts programs, workshops, and immersive retreats. Her curiosity and love of learning-combined with a deep appreciation for the processes and materials of metalsmithing-have fueled her artistic growth for more than three decades.

For many years, Susan has shared her expertise by teaching metalsmithing and jewelry at Spruill and with other schools and guilds. While studio work is often solitary, she finds joy and connection in the classroom, watching her students discover their own creative spark.

As conversations about creativity and well-being gain momentum in today's world, Susan has also embraced her role as a Certi?ed Creativity Coach. She believes that creativity is innate to all humans, yet too often limited by self-doubt or circumstance. Through her coaching, she is committed to helping others overcome these barriers and step fully into their own creative expression.

You can ?nd Susan's jewelry at Topaz Gallery in Buckhead, GA, and Nobles Metales in Marietta, GA, as well as on her website www.susansauldesign.com, Facebook @susansauldesign , and Instagram @susansauldesign
