June 28th and 29th Classes at Kept Creations in Whitman MA
I will be teaching four classes in two days:
A Beautiful Life Journal
Telling Your
Truth
Create your own unique
hardcover journal in this four hour workshop. You’ll assemble and bind a book
from scratch picking from a variety of handmade and decorative papers; learn a
variety of all new collage and journal exercises designed to get you to open up;
and create authentic journal pages that reflect your own thoughts, desires and
ideas.
Supply list:
scissors, small selection of favorite collage ephemera, bone folder, cork
back metal ruler, roll of waxed paper, roll of paper towels, permanent black
inkpad, container to hold water, 1" brushes to glue (I like chip or bristle
brushes) or a few of your favorite glue sticks
A Beautiful Life Journal
What do you get when you combine paper, ribbon, glue and a little special
somethin’ something? A soft covered (but extremely durable), quickly stitched
and totally made by your own hands journal! You will learn not only how to
create your own Beautiful Life Journal but you will discover how to
successfully blend color, texture and imagery together onto the pages of your
book. You’ll create luscious layers that combine rich, personal imagery with
colorful, textured bits of paper ephemera. I’ll dig deep into my bag of tricks
for this class, unearthing and sharing what I know to be the key to creating
unique, personal journal pages that you will love!

Journal This!
Let’s put the journal back in art journaling. This is a collage class but
it’s also about how to write, where to write and what to write. Pretty pictures
are nice to create but let’s put some meaning and written words onto our
journal pages. This class is designed to nurture and encourage you in the art
of art journaling. I guarantee that there will be plenty of collage AND written
prompts! You will walk out with several completed pages and your head will be
brimming full of new ideas and possibilities!
Supply list: journal (or the instructor will have paper
for you to work on), scissors, small selection of favorite collage
ephemera, bone folder, cork back metal ruler, roll of waxed paper, roll of
paper towels, permanent black inkpad, container to hold water, 1" brushes
to glue (I like chip or bristle brushes) or a few of your favorite glue sticks
A Beautiful Necessity
Combine rich, lush layers of color, text and imagery to create this truly
unique vision of your own heart. The covers give the illusion of layers of
painted acrylics but we will not be using acrylic paints in this class (you will LOVE what we use instead!) The
inside pages will be filled with a visual delight of texture, color, pattern
and more. This small but sturdy journal is perfect for daily, on the go use.
Think of the possibilities that you can pour into this journal at a moment’s
notice.
