Are you the type of person who saves every ticket stub and flyer you come across? Do you enjoy making keepsakes of fun memories? Are you interested in making a little time for art every day? Join us to learn how to use those paper bits (and so much more) to transform old textbooks into one of a kind junk journals!
In this workshop, we will alter the books, prepare pages for mixed media collage, and layout our cover designs. Cover design will focus on training our eye to find exciting materials in our everyday lives to create unique visual arrangements. You will leave class with a personalized journal that can be enjoyed as a sketchbook, journal, or planner. An array of media, recycled materials, and found objects will be provided for artists to experiment with.
