Art Journaling: Mental Shift

Sunday August 30 • 12:30–2:30 PM

What if your art journal didn't just have pages… but surprises?

In this session of Bound & Becoming, we'll explore ways to make your journal pages move, unfold, expand, and reveal what's hiding underneath.

Led by Christy, you'll learn how to use simple paper-folding and accordion techniques to create interactive elements inside your art journal — little pieces that open, stretch across the page, tuck away, and invite someone to look a little closer.

Then comes the really fun part: making it yours.

Using mixed media, paper, imagery, color, words, collage, and whatever else inspires you, you'll build your interactive elements into pages that tell your own story. They can be meaningful or completely whimsical. A hidden message. A tiny landscape. Something funny. Something beautiful. Something you don't quite have words for yet.

There is no requirement to be "artistic."

Bound & Becoming is about experimenting, learning new techniques, and discovering what happens when you give yourself permission to play. Christy will guide you through the process, but there is no single finished project everyone is expected to recreate.

Your journal should look like you, not everyone else's.

Come learn something new, make a glorious little mess, and add another technique to your creative toolbox.

Beginners are absolutely welcome.

What to bring:

Please bring your own art journal (new or already in progress). Journals with watercolor or mixed media pages are strongly recommended so they can handle paint and collage elements. Journal size does not matter.

All other materials will be provided.
