About Me
Hello, I'm Lori Dow. I've been creating and teaching art for many years. In 1980, I started teaching ceramics in my basement with my sister. Later, i went on to own a DIY Art Studio in Downtown Northville, Michigan called The Bee's Knees. I taught many different art forms with simple step-by-step instructions making the joy of art accessible to many people. After owning the business for 23 years, I retired and sold the studio. During my ownership, I started making How-To Videos that people could follow along in the comfort of their homes or studios. People told me it brought a sense of calm and self-empowerment to their lives during covid times. I thought, why not make it possible to have that same sense of peace and security at any time.
So, now that I have the time, knowledge, and equipment to make more DIY Art Videos, I hope you enjoy the journey with me.
I find that creating art helps well being by:
Lowering Stress
energizes your focus.
Opening up your
Mental State
creates open ended thinking and problem solving skills.
Releasing Dopamine
improves your mood and enhances focus.
Fosters Freedom
helps us let go of our fears and focus on experimenting we become spontaneous.
Providing a
Non-Verbal Outlet
opens up emotions to be processed.
Allowing
Self-expression
allows each and every one of us to thrive as an artist.
