UPDATE:  There's no place like home!  That is what I'm finding when looking for a new location (which has been STRESSFUL!) I've decided that I will focus my energy in the month of June and July and remodel the location we have loved for the past 10 years.  IF the perfect place for relocation is revealed, I will pursue it..but until then, I'll transform what I have into something even more useable for everyone.  This does not mean I won't be moving in the future...just that I'm staying put until the ideal location becomes available.  Thank you all for your loving words and prayers.  I am encouraged and excited about this decision.

4/20/2017 - 5/25/2017 
Art Journaling - 6 Week Series
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

In this series you will explore aspects of visual journaling. 

VISUAL JOURNALING "Visual journaling is a creative way to express and record life's experiences, feelings, emotional reactions, or our inner world - visually and verbally. Essentially, visual journaling can become a potential key to the artmaking process. 
Exploring our own thought process through visual journaling is essential in a world that is in a state of continuous change. Just as there are many ways to express oneself artistically, there are many ways to create visual journals. By committing to the visual journaling process, one can learn how to access his/her inner language of imagery and express it both visually and verbally, while exploring the connection between image and word. Through visual journaling one can also become capable of articulating connections between their own personal art-making experiences and the works of master and contemporary artists." - Michael Bell

This series is broken up into 6 lessons:
1. Color Confidence - Selecting and mixing colors
2. Motif - Handmade stencils, masks & stamps
3. Mediums - exploring paints, gels, gessos & pastes
4. Image & Line - transferring methods
5. Lettering - Hand drawn letters/words
6. Composition - exploring balance, white space, symmetry, repetition


Bring a journal (8x10 or 9x12 watercolor journal is preferred) and we will provide all the supplies you need.
