OPEN TO ALL LEVELS

Join artist Andrea Trace to learn all about the fun and health-giving practice of journaling. Turn your sketchbook into a portable sanctuary: a safe place for your thoughts, ideas, memories and creative explorations. 

We’ll learn a host of techniques including collage, lettering, drawing, page design, rubber stamping and printmaking. We’ll investigate ways to turn journaling into a daily treat for each of us. 

You’ll learn to carve rubber stamps and use a gelli plate to make printed papers in your favourite colours. We’ll also spend a day hand binding our own journals. 

This class is for all skill levels from beginner to advanced. No previous art experience is necessary. Experienced artists will discover new ways get creative in their sketchbook and beginners will realize they have what they need to put their thoughts on paper in beautiful ways. 

Journaling is a wonderful way to ease stress, enhance mental health and build confidence as you explore ways to express your personal feelings. Drawing everyday is good for you! It’s your time to acquire a new (good) habit.
