In-person in Langley, WA
Bring a journal, all other supplies provided- price includes supply fee - $90
 
We are all so busy that we rarely take time to stop, reflect on, and celebrate our lives. In this gentle mixed-media journaling class, we’ll reflect on 2025 using writing, collage, paint, and doodling to celebrate our growth and experiences. Then, we’ll turn toward the year ahead—listening for what wants to emerge, evolve, or expand in our lives. You’ll learn ways to layer words and imagery, organize your writing, and use collage to express ideas visually. With open exercises incorporating language and images we’ll tap into both sides of our brain to receive a wide net of ideas and inspirations. You’ll learn ways to express concepts using several journaling techniques. Liesel will demonstrate each stage as we go a long - including ways to hide your writing so it feels more private. Everyone is welcome to share (and inspire others) or to keep things private. This is a supportive, creative space to slow down, reflect, dream, and welcome what’s next.
 Lunch will be 12-1, you are welcome to go out or bring your lunch and keep working during that time. Location address will be emailed upon registration. No experience needed!
 
Feedback from students:
 
"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the class yesterday and how much I got out of it. I learned SO MUCH, and came home with my brain excited and full of ideas. It was truly a pleasure, from beginning (nervous sweaty first day of school palms and all) to the end, which came way too quickly. "

"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."

"Thank you so much for a fun class and for opening the door to easing up inside around the process of creating art. My favorite thing was being given permission to be open to exploration without judgment or restraint. It helped me to relax around it and not feel like I have to love or show every piece; it helped me make more peace with process."
