Join me every Wednesday as I take you through the steps of creating an art journaling practice and how to benefit from it with mixed-media techniques and bookbinding to move beyond obstacles such as perfectionism and self-criticism as you find time and space to create. Every week I'll also be introducing you to new art materials.

Wed. Jan. 3, 2024 Tip-ins, Flips and Tucks in our art journal

Maintaining an art journal is a wonderful and safe place to explore a variety of art techniques. You don't need to be an artist to explore your creativity as you use your art journal to record your creative expressions and the countless ways to have fun using materials you probably have around the house. Join us every Wednesday. No previous art experience is necessary. Just bring a journal or a notebook to begin the adventure. Every week you'll also find a supply list that that week's activity.
