Journal Making

Taught by Maria Geary

Immerse yourself in the world of book arts as you master a simple yet elegant bookbinding technique to craft your very own 9 x 12, five-page journal—a blank canvas waiting to hold your thoughts, dreams, and artistic expressions. Then, unleash your imagination as we dive into an array of creative techniques, play with transparency and opaque applications, and explore texture.

This workshop is a vibrant, artistic retreat designed to inspire and rejuvenate. You will leave with not only your handcrafted journal but a vivid reminder to embrace the magic of creativity and take time to Relax in Art.

Sign up and spark your creative spirit!
