Embrace Creativity and Joy
Are you ready to unleash your inner artist and explore the wonderful world of art journaling? I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming workshop on personal art journaling, designed around individually specific themes that bring you joy! Whether you’re a beginner or already familiar with art journaling, this workshop is sure to be an exciting journey of self-expression and creativity.
Why Art Journaling?
If you are unfamiliar, an art journal is a creative visual diary, blending art, writing, collage, and any preferred materials, with self-expression. Art journaling is a simple yet powerful tool for enhancing emotional well-being and reducing stress. Engaging with your thoughts and feelings through art can provide a profound sense of joy and fulfilment.
Other benefits include:
Improved mental clarity and problem-solving
Inspired creativity and planning
Self-reflection, examination, and emotional expression
Connection with your creative self
Improves confidence
And, it's fun!
This workshop encourages you to explore your creative side, helping you form a personal art journal and practice that reflects your unique experiences and passions. Most people who regularly practice- including myself!- find that it's a therapeutic outlet, helping to channel life's challenges as well as celebrating our joys. It's a fantastic way to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Just the act of creating can boost your mood and help you tap into your joyful moments.
A Sneak Peek into the Workshop
Whether you're into travelling, knitting, writing, baking, gardening, yoga, painting, or whatever your passions are, this workshop will help you to learn to experiment, document, and develop a beautiful, joy-filled journal that you can keep for years to come. We will dive into the essential techniques and ideas to get you started on your journey, from exploring various art materials, different creative styles and mediums.
We will learn and experiment with page layout, writing, drawing, painting, collaging, and more, with each journal being as unique as each participant in a relaxed atmosphere. I will encourage you to focus on the techniques that you're most comfortable with and that bring you energy and joy. Use any theme of your choice, use a combination of themes, or no theme at all, just stream of consciousness & flow, it's entirely up to you.
This workshop is for any skill level and would be best for older teens and adults.
Lunch is provided!
Some basic materials will be provided; however, to get the most out of the workshop, participants will be asked to bring in some materials personal to them and their theme, like photographs, favourite writing passages, magazines, quotes, etc.
