FOLLOWING THE WILD WINDS with Carissa Paige
Take a courageous voyage through your thoughts and feelings using words, colors and figures to expressively spill yourself into your journals. This workshop will guide you to listen, see subtle signs and clues and explore them deeper. Whether itʼs transformation youʼre seeking or just a new way to let loose in your pages, Following the Wild Winds is an invitation to see yourself and the world around you from new heights. It is also an invitation to get out -- take soul-full walks, listen to animal messengers, sit still and be illuminated by your discoveries. Once you embrace the Wild Winds they will carry you to where youʼre meant to be!
DOODLING OUR WAY with Cathy Bluteau
Drawing doesnʼt have to be difficult. In fact, in my world, drawing is doodling and doodling is drawing. I love to create whimsical, non-sensical pieces full of color, life and movement. In Doodling Our Way I will gladly show you how to do the same! In this workshop we will use my favorite techniques intended to transform your doodles into cherished works of art. Plus, for added fun we will incorporate creative journaling elements such as found paper, dimensional paint, and washi tape. Join me in making art with the innocence of child once again in Doodling Our Way.
UNEARTHING with Danielle Daniel
So much of my creative inspiration has come to me in the night. Dreams are the portholes to the subconscious and I plan to share my process from dreaming to storytelling. Through mixed media exercises, I will help you uncover the stories that lay dormant, waiting for you to discover. You will soon be filling your journal pages with stories from your dreams that are unequivocally yours.
THE GAMES JOURNALERS PLAY with Diana Trout
Make your own set of two Art Journaling card games: 2 card games and package them up in a decorated tin. Play List 5 and Prompt Me when you need a journaling boost. The games are fully designed by me and will be presented in PDF forms for you to cut into cards and create. The video will show you ways to decorate your tins. These games are fun to play with friends or by yourself!
SPARKLE-ARKLE with Dion Dior
A twinkle, a shimmer, a flash...what was that? Sparkle-arkle is all about...well, sparkle. Luminescence in art-journaling is a beautiful, twinkling process that can be subtle yet very powerful. Everyone is attracted to the dance of light and color, light refraction and reflection draws the observer in and keeps them mesmerized. In this beautiful workshop we will learn how to use light to enhance our art-journaling process in unique and interesting ways. Join me in this twinkling workshop as I take you on a dazzling journey that will bring your journal pages alive with light and sparkle. We will use an array of materials from glitter, glue, and embellishments, to crystal infused paints, pigments, and layering, Sparkle-arkle is all about dazzling, shimmering, sparkling art journaling and self-expression.
ALTERED ART ATTIRE with Erin Bassett
Get off the art journal page with fun techniques for wearing your art! Erin will share with you her techniques for making mixed media pieces to wear yourself or to give as gifts. Express yourself!
IMAGINE YOU with Hali Karla
We are told, practically from the start, that there is a difference between our Imagination and Reality... and so we begin early on to separate one from the other in our perceptions and decisions. This serves a useful purpose much of the time, but it also denies one very important truth that you knew, inherently, as a child: Your Imagination is potently Real - and can be either a sneaky trickster (when left caged and uncelebrated) or an insightful friend whispering of your deepest truths, joy and potential. Leaving behind the shores of rationalization, judgment and planning, you will embark upon an art-journaling journey into a gorgeous sea of mysterious associations, questions and answers. These treasures, uniquely yours, will reveal themselves along the way, as you trust and follow the spontaneous navigation of your rich Imagination, honoring its awe- inspiring power to connect you to what's Real: Sacred You!
ARTFUL LETTER AND STITCH with Joanne Sharpe
A DIARY OF A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BUT INCONSISTENT JOURNALER with Jodi Ohl
Raise your hand if this describes you: You are one with good intentions but life gets in the way to your journaling activities. Or maybe you can create journal pages with no problem but have trouble keeping a book all in one place. You run out of ideas in your journal and run on to the next big thing. Perhaps you are totally new to journaling and you need some help getting started. If this is you or heck, if you are just looking for inspiration, come along on my video/blog/diary, workshop of an effective but inconsistent visual journaler. From resolution to implementation, 2013 will be a new beginning where we can take off on this journey together, starting with our journal. Iʼll be sharing prompts, pictures, techniques, inspiration and themes to create a book that youʼll not just start, but keep. From doodling to drawing, to painting and layering, photography to whatever else inspires us—we will go from inconsistent to consistent visual journalers and be better artists, people because of the journey. Letʼs do this!
JOURNAL SOUP with Kate Crane
In Journal Soup weʼll climb out of the box and do some loose-leaf journaling! Free yourself from boundaries and restrictions, and enjoy the freedom of journaling outside of the journal. In this workshop weʼll mix things up with a multitude of techniques and a host of interesting substrates. Then weʼll add some spice with a variety of paints, inks, stencils, rubber stamps, and pastels---maybe even throw in some stitching, hand drawing, or stamp carving for flavor! In Journal Soup anything goes! Grab your supplies and lets make Journal Soup!
JUMP IN PUDDLES with Kim Phillips van Buren
Do you jump in puddles? Do you care if you get your shoes wet? Do you mind if you get mud splashes on your pants? And when you journal........Does your work make you smile, or even laugh out loud? Does it make you feel lighter? Does it make you completely lose track of time? Or did somewhere along the line your journal become a burden? Did it become Something Serious? Do you feel caught up in Expectations, Rules and Judgments - either from yourself or from others? Stop now, shake off the burden and start playing again! Join me in Jump In Puddles where I let you remember that journaling is not complicated. Journaling is simple. Itʼs connecting your soul with your hands. Itʼs using glue and paper to express yourself. Itʼs making your heart smile. Journaling is an adventure--letʼs jump in puddles to begin!
{ACCEPT}IONAL ART with Kristina Oppegard
In {ACCEPT}ional ART weʼll get down & dirty with the word ACCEPT and ask how does this word impact all facets of our lives? Weʼll explore ways we can practice the art of acknowledgement of where we've come, where we are and where we are going--done with the mixed media materials we've grown to love and a little something extra: ACCEPTANCE in our Lion Hearts. Lets witness this as it opens the door WIDE for acceptance to flow into our daily lives. Loving ourselves , our art, & our process.. Join me for {ACCEPT}ional ART!
WORDS AS YOUR MUSE with Marah Johnson
Ever since I was a small child books and magazines have been my escape and my muse. I love to read...I love the way words look on a page. I find that often when I am stumped for an idea or need inspiration for journaling all I have to do is open a book... find a word, a sentence or a phrase and my imagination goes wild and sends me on quite the creative journey. Join me in that journey and find words as your muse too.
TRANSFORMATIVE ART JOURNALING with Rachel Awes
This psychologist + art playgroundist will guide you through identifying messages within of fear + trembliness + transforming them into artful affirmations in your journals. Come see how the beauty within is truly astounding ~ even, + maybe especially, out of the hidden + painful places.
GO GREEN with Rae Missigman
Love art? Love your beautiful planet Earth too? Than take a few extra moments to re- examine what you are dropping into your recycle bin and discover a whole new art journal waiting to happen! In Go Green we will use things around the house once thought of as junk to transform a simple one dimensional page into a beautiful, recycled, re-purposed three dimensional work of art. Join me in taking all you know about art journaling already and recycle it into some Go Green love!
FLOWER POWER with Ro Bruhn
Iʼm an original hippie from way back, so colour, recycling, and flowers are a part of my every day life. In Flower Power I will show you how to make flowers using disposable paper and plastic plates that were once paint palettes in a previous life. We will also create abstract flower stamps from foam and cardboard that are great for printing with! And last, weʼll recycle those old envelopes to create funky, graphic flowers that can be cut out and glued into your journal. Be sure to join me in Flower Power for a recycling adventure!
BABY GOT BACK-TO-BACK with Roben Marie Smith
Together we will create a playful art journal project using my step-by step method layering paint, ink, stencils, doodles, stamps and more. THEN we will turn that layered yummy goodness into a stitched and bound dos-à-dos (back to back) style mini album perfect for yourself or gifting. You will find yourself returning "back" to these techniques again and again in your creative play. Crank up the music and join me for Baby Got Back-to-Back!
WATERCOLOR PLAYGROUND with Tammy Garcia
We will create playful and fun art journal backgrounds with watercolors and fill our colorful pages using a variety of journaling techniques. Our focus will be on enjoying the process of painting, writing and creating. We will concentrate on the beauty of each color, the texture of the paper, the way the paint flows from the brush. We will select colors intuitively, not from a color wheel. Art journaling is all about the process of getting color and images and words on paper. The experience, not the finished page, is what it is all about. In this workshop we will create a set of playful art journal backgrounds using watercolor and fill our colorful pages using a variety of journaling and lettering techniques.
I HAVE A SECRETS with Terri Kahrs
Would you like to incorporate your private thoughts discreetly and creatively into the pages of your art journals? Using easy techniques and simple materials, I'll show you how to create a fun, interactive journal that will showcase your art, while cleverly concealing and shielding your secret thoughts from a reader's prying eyes at first glance. If you're eager to expand your creative repertoire – whether you're a beginner or a seasoned journaler – this class is for you.
ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER with Tracy Verdugo
Art can be a boundless adventure if we trust in the process and allow things to unfold spontaneously and in a spirit of joyful discovery! Inspiration is all around us and the possibilities to create are endless! In this workshop I will share with you the reasons I never run out of inspiration, some of my favorite ways to get started and several of the methods and processes I use when I am discovering the journey of my painting. Together we will loosen up, begin a dialogue with our art and be willing to go on an exciting adventure where stories unfold and one thing leads beautifully and serendipitously to the next.
SACRED JOURNALING. IMAGERY AS A PORTAL TO SPIRIT with Whitney Ferré
In this workshop, your journal becomes a direct line to spirit, your Higher Self, your infinite mind, whatever that part of you that is not bound by the past, logic, or fear is for you. Experience 3 different ways to access that intuitive voice that is there at any moment to guide you on your most authentic path. Whitney Ferré will lead you in her videos through her three favorite journaling exercises: The Streaming Doodle, Sacred Symbol Portals, and Prompts from Spirit. Along the way learn how layers of color, symbols, imagery, texture and pattern can ease your mind into that open space where newness blooms in the art that is your life.
