Journal Alchemy with Joanne Barwise

The core of this class is repurposing or upcycling a beautiful old book (we’ll thank it for its past life) and lovingly give it a new life with fresh paper and your art. The heart of the course will be filling the pages with your art and things that can help you move along in your creative journey. We’ll explore themes such as randomness, colour, patterns, and making stencils.

A personal book like this can be a vessel for your ideas, your “art” thought experiments, musings, and a portal to your creativity. I can guarantee that once you make your own book of awesomeness, you’ll never stop making ‘em. Five classes, five weeks to start or continue a creative journey. Beat the blahs, let’s art up some pages!
