About this Event
2026 Art Journaling Basics Workshop — Overview
"An art journal is the same as a written journal, except that it incorporates colors, images, patterns, and other materials. Some art journals have a lot of writing, while others are purely filled with images. It's a form of creative self-care."
Join Jenny for a year-long creative journey into the foundations of art journaling. Each workshop will introduce a new purpose, prompt, or technique designed to help you explore self-expression through color, composition, and mixed media.
Whether you're brand new or returning from past workshops, every session offers a unique hands-on experience.
What to Expect
- A guided lesson with a focused theme and technique
- Step-by-step demonstrations suitable for beginners
- Exploration of a variety of mediums and tools
- A welcoming, creative space to express yourself freely
2026 Theme: The Basics
This year we’re returning to the foundational skills of art journaling—building confidence, exploring materials, and learning how to develop your own artistic voice. Each class will deepen your understanding of layout, layering, color play, textures, and personal storytelling on the page.
