Weekend Workshop

Hello All,

Today I thought i'd share some photos from my weekend workshop at Sheffield Hallam Students Union. I was emailed a few months back to ask if i'd like to deliver an Art Journaling workshop to the students there. I decided, since I have been enjoying making my monthly journals so much, that this is what we'd make. That way I should not only show them some really fun journaling techniques but also teach them how to bind their work into a simple book.

I had eight lovely ladies on the day, done of which had ever tried Art Journaling before. They were a lovely group to work with, every new technique was met with great enthusiasm. They really got into it and didn't even want to stop for lunch. By the end of the day everyone had produced a beautiful and totally unique little journal.

Overall a very successful day :)

Bye for now xxx

January Mini Journal

Hello all,

2019 is off to a busy start with lots of workshops running. I have been teaching art journaling and beginners drawing which has been loads of fun. Unfortunately I haven't had much time for my own work and I'm dying to do some more encaustic painting! I have some great ideas for some new journals too, when I get the chance! Half term is fast approaching so I hope I will have more time then.

January flew by and I only just managed to get my monthly journal done in time.

This one has a wintery feel to it which suits the time of year perfectly. One of the pages is made from a box of chocolates that my husband left under my pillow. There is also an extract from a poem I found in an old book I bought from a charity shop. Just little things that happened that month but it makes it all the more special.

Hope you enjoyed having a look.
