Soliloquy in Art Journal Form
Friday, September 6th10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Beyond the Brush: Painting with Palette Knives and more
Some
of the things that make me very happy include making my own journal
from scratch, falling in love with said journal and exploring new ideas,
techniques and thoughts on the pages of said journal. I know that I am
not alone in these thoughts (or else you wouldn't be reading this.)
Art
journaling is a dialogue with yourself in the form of paper, paint and
pen. It's a chance to express, explore and experiment with your
thoughts and ideas on paper. It's a chance to play. I often think of my
journal work as having a conversation with myself as well as the world
around me.
In
this workshop, we will create an expanded journal (with hidden
pockets.) After creating our new book, we will dive onto the pages
exploring rich and personal journal pages. Learn new techniques as you
create your own unique pages using collage, paint, pens and much, much
more.
Spend
several hours engrossed in a world of layers, color, composition and
self expression. Come create with us in a space that is safe, nurturing,
fun (and often very funny) and full of ideas guaranteed to get your
creative juices flowing.
Supply list: an apron, baby wipes, scissors, a small selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images and papers),
metal ruler, bone folder, a full roll of paper towels OR old
rags, a container for your paint water, your favorite paint brushes, a
few of your favorite glue sticks (please trust me when I say that large
glue sticks will last you longer. I always have two or three 40 gram
glue sticks in my journal bag and that's more than enough for a long
weekend. You WILL go through the smaller glue sticks in MINUTES), roll of waxed paper OR an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don't want to use all of your waxed paper for this.)

Beyond the Brush: Painting with Palette Knives and more
Friday, September 6th
3 to 7 p.m.
We
all have our favorite tools. After all, what artist doesn’t love a good
paintbrush? What about other art tools like palette knives, catalyst
tools and even household items?
I’ve fallen head over heels painting with tools that aren’t brushes. After this workshop, you will, too!
Moving
beyond the brush opens us up to new possibilities and discoveries in
how we create layers on our pages. Learn how to create new colors on
your rich, luscious, unique pages. Gain confidence in exploring new
ideas and take the plunge into a world of color. Learn that creative
mistakes are only new possibilities. Bring your journal, some waxed
paper and be ready to set off on a whole new adventure in creative
painting.
Supply list: Your Journal, an apron, scissors, a small selection of favorite collage ephemera (think about reading this when choosing your images and papers), baby wipes, metal ruler, a full roll of paper towels OR old rags, a container for your paint water, your favorite paint brushes,a water brush pen (OR an extra fine, detail paint brush *ONLY* IF you have one), a few of your favorite LARGE glue sticks (please trust me when I say that large glue sticks will last you longer. I always have two or three 40 gram glue sticks in my journal bag and that's more than enough for a long weekend. You WILL go through the smaller glue sticks in MINUTES), roll of waxed paper OR an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don't want to use all of your waxed paper for this.)

Want to create magic on your journal pages?
For
most artists, paper, paint, mark making and journaling represent
doorways to new experiences and insights. Most artists that I know are
always trying to discover and learn something new. We’re eager for new
ideas, new techniques, anything that will get us in the studio and
working.
I
want to start a fire in you! I want journaling to be rich, magical,
expressive and unlike any other form of creating that you can do. How do
we do that? By working, brainstorming and taking risks.
In
this workshop, we’ll create a one of a kind hardcover journal (with a
hidden paper pocket) that will call to you whenever you are ready to
reach for the scissors or paintbrush.
Discover
new ideas and possibilities in art making that are already nestled deep
within you. Expand, explore and experiment and bring your inner artist
out and onto your pages.
