Creating the ARTful Journal - 2 Day workshop - Sat/Sun 11a-4p
Why journal? I use my art journals to record ideas, sketches, lists, quotes, test color/supplies, techniques, design, and write. However, journals are diverse in purpose; daily thoughts, quotes, lists, recipes, travel, project documenting, scrapbooking, or just plain doodling!   Over the years, I’ve developed BIG LOVE for my journals and the journaling process itself. 
​
​What to expect:
Day 1 - Create the covers and spine, (Covers dry overnight).
Day 2 – Sew signatures in to journal; attach beads & closure; start playing and writing in your newly created journal!
You will have oodles of supplies to tempt your creativity! I will demo techniques to attack the blank page; and also provide writing prompts and resources!
Cost: $135 (All supplies included)
Practicalities: Everyone has their own table, with plenty of room to spread out. You may want to bring a bag lunch.

People are angry. They are nasty, rude, and impatient. Evidence of anger’s destructive power is everywhere. We notice it in public. On the road. Online. We feel a loss of control from daily news bombardments from negative powerful outside sources. Simply, all of us have the same needs, and we feel them slipping away. That creates fear. Fear creates anger. We’ve been given permission to promote rage, and it’s divided our nation.  To cope with our out-of-control feelings, we’ve adopted a “me first” attitude. But, it’s just stoking the fire.  
 
As an artist I wanted to create something in my world as a daily reminder to be kind, grateful, patient, and tolerant. To love. A “power to the people” symbol. A small step to reverse course. We can only change ourselves.
Something I can see every day. A peace flag. Historically, it’s a banner to unify, promote compassion, strength, and wisdom.
Join me in my studio for this Sunday “playshop”, Peace Flags.
