Gratitude: A Visual Journal Virtual Workshop, Sat, Nov 16, 2024, 11AM-2pm, EST
Saturday, November 16, 2024, 11am to 2pm, EST
You’re invited to spend a few hours making, creating, and sharing from the comfort of your own home or studio. This will be a very informal gathering as I share a few ideas and techniques as we work in our journals. So set aside some time before the busy holiday season to join a community of other creative individuals for a low pressure experience as you reconnect to yourself, your journal, and your making.
We will meet live through Zoom, but the workshop will be recorded for anyone who cannot make the scheduled time or who wants to revisit the class.
This is a pay-what-you-can workshop, so please select what you would like to pay below. Once you purchase the workshop, you will receive an automatic confirmation email. If you do not receive the email, please check your spam and junk folders, and make certain that you have added my email address to your address book to ensure that you receive future emails from me. Approximately one week before the scheduled class time, I will email out a link to the Zoom Meeting that we use the day of the class.
Supplies Needed:
A visual journal, sketchbook, or loose paper - A mixed media journal is a good choice since it has paper designed to withstand a wide variety of paints, but use whatever works for you. It does not need to be a new book. Or use a number of loose pieces of paper to make individual works of art.
Paint - Watercolor and acrylic will both work. I’ll be using watercolor paint and watercolor pencil
Mark making items - It’s always great to create interesting marks and textures with paint. I love using plastic mesh, bubble wrap, cardboard, string, and even my fingers to play with how I apply paint.
Variety of paint brushes
Scissors
Glue Stick - I like UHU, but if you’re using acrylic paint, acrylic medium is suitable
Markers, pens, and pencils - a variety of waterproof and water-soluble writing and drawing materials; paint markers are great to use
Papers - I like having a variety of loose papers to use in my journaling, and I always have tracing paper, drawing paper, and colored papers on hand.
Collage materials - We’ll be using an assortment of items to glue into the journal, but try to find things that are personal. I love using movie tickets, mementos from travel, post cards, bottle labels, and other ephemera that I accumulate in day-to-day life.
What you get:
Access to the live Zoom class and to the archived videos once the class is over to revisit anytime
Access to the private Journal Fodder Junkies Online Workshop group to share work, ask questions, and get feedback
Email and direct message support
Refunds and Cancellations:
Life gets busy, and unexpected things come up, but due to nature of this class, no refunds will be issued. Individual retreat sessions will be recorded and accessible anytime through multiple devices for at least 60 days.
