Art Journaling with Kerry Molina
Art journaling takes plain long-handed diary-writing to a more playful level. Adding bits of art loosens up the feel of the journal and injects some color and fun. Instructor Kerry Molina lovingly calls her art journaling classes, “Topics and Techniques,” since each one gives you a prompt about which to write and an art technique to try in your journal. Come find out about this relaxing way to get back in touch with your creative side.
Participants must bring their own unlined journal.
