*Crafting Your Creative Journal*
Have you been saving little treasures or papers from previous classes? This is the perfect opportunity to combine those elements into a beautiful collection. If you don’t have any, don’t worry, cause I have plenty.
We will experiment with a variety of techniques, including watercolor, ecoprinting, gel printing, stenciling, masking, stamping, and embossing, as you infuse your unique style into each page. Your journal will also serve as a record of various methods and prompts to inspire future works.
You have the freedom to choose the focus of your journal, whether it's a nature-inspired diary, a sketchbook or a book filled with your thoughts and dreams. Or maybe some old family photos with stories and recipes.
Whether you're a returning participant or new to my classes, you'll discover fresh ideas and techniques.
All materials will be provided, including your very own journal, so come prepared to explore and connect with a co-creating community.
This series embraces a supportive and engaging atmosphere for all skill levels—everyone is welcome!

The gel plate process uses a rubbery base to create mono-prints. We will experiment with a variety of textures and colors to create our unique pieces. This is a great way to produce finished prints or build a wealth of papers for collage. Be careful, once you start it's hard to stop! We will begin with design layout, tools, inks and papers. Students will explore printing, layering and embellishments. This class will cover mounting and sealing tips to finish.
