I am pleased to announce my newest course Create Artful Journals!

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to make hand-stitched books and journals that are infused with art!  I will show you how you can merge traditional 2-D art, like drawing and painting, as well as mixed media and encaustic art, with the art of the handmade book. This workshop is the perfect balance of fun-filled, expressive art projects and quietly meditative hand stitching techniques. And even better, your completed journals will not only provide a place for you to practice art techniques or showcase and preserve the things that are important to you, they make AMAZING GIFTS.

The full course includes 8 projects, each with narrated, real-time videos and printable project guides. Each project includes a demonstration of the art technique I used to create my cover, and the processes I use to create the structure of each book, from the preparation of the fill paper to the decorative bindings, embellishments and protective surface finishes. You will be amazed at the way everything comes together in the end, with custom art and design details that ensure each of your books and journals will be a one-of-a-kind work of art.
