A gathering of artists, writers, makers and breakers looking to creatively experiment with astrology.
When I first started learning astrology ~ nothing compared to the wisdom I gained from fusing it’s concepts with my art practice. Like the difference between pointing to your favorite meal on a restaurant menu and actually eating, tasting the food ~ this is a way to experience astrology from a sensational, hands-on perspective. This is for those interested in expanding their astrological knowledge beyond books and observation and into the swirl of their creative spirit. This course is not only for your portfolio, but for your soul ~ and the ways in which they inform each other.
next cohort starts:
JAN 2024, see current calendar for info
In this beginner to intermediate astrology class, we will discuss each other’s charts in tandem with our art practice, clear creative blocks and enhance a more balanced, full sense of ourselves. Every gathering includes a reading of your chart and ends with an astro-prompt to explore via our chosen creative medium: video, painting, writing, dance, performance, sculpture ~ We exhibit our artwork to each other at the start of every class ~ ending in a group show.
You will leave with a greater sense of self and a radical collection of new work.
“The artist in me is doing naked cartwheels in a field of daisies. Blair's course melds the worlds of erratic artist energy and self discovery...it has really pushed me, as well as made me comfortable calling myself an artist. I feel a better understanding and acceptance of art and all of its endless possibilities. Your words and analogies play in my head like guiding hymns - in a healthy way. Thank you for bringing this group together to inspire each other. It was so needed and big hearted.”
-Dee M. (Clown, Las Vegas, NV)
“This class was nothing short of life changing. It helped me remove the blocks that I had that prevented me from creating what I truly want to create. Blair held such a beautiful safe space to explore, to expand, to be uncomfortable. This journey has been so life-affirming, and I am so grateful for Blair's wisdom and insight on my chart. I am infinitely grateful to have had this opportunity to be seen as I am, and to witness and hold the fellow artists who were in my cohort as they are. I am truly inspired to express, to create, and to continue to be weird.”
- Katie A. (Artist, Portland, OR)

“I do not say that artists cannot be seers, inspired: that the awen cannot come upon them, and the god speak through them. Who would be an artist if they did not believe that that happens? If they did not know it happens, because they have felt the god within them use their tongue, their hands? Maybe only once, once in their lives. But once is enough.” - Ursula K. Le Guin
This is a workshop/community for artists looking to collaborate with the current movement of the stars via transits, progression and astrological talisman. Art as active participation in synchronicity. Art as time magic. Astrology as art magic + more.
In this intermediate to advanced astrology class, we settle into the same intensities as SPACE CRAFT I, cracking open different layers of our charts, continuing to clear creative blocks while gaining hands-on astrological wisdom. Every gathering ends with a astro-prompt to explore via our chosen creative medium. We end in a group show :)
*it is recommended you take SPACE CRAFT I before enrolling in II, though all are welcome. Please have a solid familiarity with the basics of astrology.
