About this Event
After Hours Workshop Join us for this fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll craft a custom Pocket Sketch Journal AND learn how to fill it with sketches, ephemera and journaling to capture memories and moments that matter. Once filled, your pocket-journal transforms into a quirky visual diary that’s as unique as you are.
What You’ll Make:
Starting with just one piece of premium paper, you’ll fold and create a clever pocket-journal that’s both pocket-sized and features pockets inside and out—perfect for tucking away treasured ephemera. You’ll then add a Z-fold insert for extra creative space. Bonus extras will keep you inspired once you leave the class.
What You’ll Learn:
How to craft your own pocket sketch journal. After crafting your journal, Judith will share creative techniques and approachable methods for filling your pages—even if you’re a complete beginner! She will provide a brief introduction to Urban Sketching. You’ll discover how to capture your experiences, observations, and everyday moments in ways that feel natural and enjoyable.
