A quiet space inside a loud, overloaded world
Simple tools and prompts to get things onto the page
Grounding through material: from sewing and binding to the touch of paint and paper
Past the inner critic: image and writing together loosen what holds expression back
A hand-bound, hand-sewn notebook that stays with you

Format: Group workshop · 4 to 12 meetings

Our travel journal is our own private space, one that we can carry with us wherever we choose to go.

The journal offers an opportunity to create meaningful time for connecting with ourselves. A space to meet whatever is present in the moment, to make room for sensations, emotions and imagination.

A space where we can tell our own unique story.

For many people, a visual travel journal is a meaningful anchor, and there are countless ways to work with it.

What will we do in the workshop?

We’ll create the journal itself from scratch:

Make the journal cover while experimenting with botanical printing.
Sew the pages by hand and bind the journal together.
Explore ways to fill the journal with content using a variety of tools and materials, including watercolors, pencils, collage, drawing and creative writing. I’ll give you basic tools and guidance to get you started.

Each technique is introduced in a unique way, inviting us to discover our personal imprint and our own story, and bring them together in a travel journal of our own.
