The Art of Journaling – Wednesday Class

Tanya, an experienced and passionate Art Journaler, has been creating stunning mixed-media art books for several years. Her approach to journaling is not about daily writing but rather using art as a means of expression—capturing thoughts, emotions, and moments through mixed media and meaningful quotes.

In this introductory session, Tanya will guide you through the process of transforming a second-hand book, sketchbook, or existing art journal into a unique creative space. Participants should bring an A5-sized (or larger) second-hand book or a sketchbook from stores like Wayne’s World. Please avoid spiral-bound books, as the workshop will focus on working across double-page spreads. Children’s board books or puzzle books are excellent choices due to their thicker pages.

Tanya’s passion for Art Journaling stems from her love of painting and the desire to create without the need for multiple canvases. A journal provides a compact, personal space for artistic expression and serves as a meaningful keepsake over time.

If you are unable to find a suitable book, Tanya will have a few available. All other materials will be provided.
