Saturday, February 7th, 10am-3pm
No experience necessary!
Let your curiosity be your compass as you create a richly layered art journal filled with personal meaning and texture. In this imaginative, hands-on class, we’ll begin with an old book—using its cover as the foundation for your own pages made of paper, fabric, and found materials. You’ll learn how to build and bind pages, embellish your cover, and add depth with collage, paint, stitching, wire, beads, ribbon, and decorative tin.
Bring along your own small treasures—charms, trinkets, photos, or bits of fabric—to tell your story through your journal’s pages. Each layer becomes a memory, each attachment a memento of your creative journey. Whether your journal feels like a travelogue, a keepsake, or a storybook from your imagination, you’ll leave with a beautifully tactile, one-of-a-kind piece that captures the beauty in the unexpected.

"I *soooooooo* enjoyed your class. It opened up a whole new world for me, and I'm so excited to learn more. You are a wonderful teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed your class. I honestly had no idea that watercolor could do the things that you taught us. Thanks again for everything."

"First I have to say thank you a million times over. I had the best time I have had in a long time. I cannot tell you how it felt to do something creative. Since that class everything I look at is different. I see things I did not see before. Thanks so much for opening a new world."
~Rob
"I really enjoyed the collage class I took with you. Just a lot of fun, information and getting over the feeling I am not artistic. I'm trying to find some way to be creative. You made it very relaxed and enjoyable."
~Julie
"Thank you so much for a fun class. My favorite thing was being given permission to be open to exploration without judgment or restraint. It helped me to relax and not feel like I have to love or show every piece; it helped me make peace with process."
