The New Year is a time for fresh beginnings, where artsy journaling is a relaxing way to experiment with new techniques which encourage a daily/weekly artsy practice.

In this one-day workshop Katharine introduces participants to a variety of techniques including Gelli-plate printmaking, stamping, collage, acrylic painting, and mixed-media mark-making. Participants will also have the opportunity to write a simple Japanese Haiku or add meaningful words, quotes, or personal reflections to their pages. You’ll leave with completed journal pages and the confidence to continue a creative journalling practice at home.
Katharine provides a mixed-media journal along with a wonderful selection of papers and collage materials. Participants are welcome to bring favourite papers, magazine clippings, or small keepsakes to personalize their work.

A $20 materials fee, payable in cash to the instructor on the day of the workshop, covers the journal and supplies.
All levels are welcome. Instruction is in English. Suitable for youth, adults, and seniors.
