If you’ve wanted to learn how to make your own art journal, then this is the workshop for you. In this 5-hour workshop, artists Fran Halperin and Erika Halperin will guide the group in creating 4.5″ x 10″ art journals using a variety of mixed papers, including junk mail, for the inside pages.
The wide range of thicknesses, textures and sizes of mixed papers makes for a charming and fun book, which you can then fill with your own drawings, paintings, and collages.
You will have your choice of wallpaper samples and book-making fabrics to personalize your journal’s cover to suit your own style. Your handmade journal is yours to keep, plus you’ll gain bookmaking skills and the confidence to make more journals on your own.
Includes:
- 5 hours of bookmaking in a supportive, friendly environment
- Access to a beautiful array of high-quality art media and bookbinding materials (no need to bring anything)
- Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages
- Beautiful, handmade art journal that’s yours to keep and continue to use
- Bookmaking skills that you can reuse for books of any size and materials
