‘Let’s redefine what journalling is’

Step into the Creative Journalling Challenge—a celebration of artistic expression and mindfulness. This year, we're inviting all artists to redefine what a journal means. From ceramicists, glassworkers, woodworkers, metalworkers, designers, paper and textile artists to photographers, sculptors, print and mixed media makers, delve into our community's wealth of knowledge and share your creations online!

Let's embrace materiality and sustainability and think outside the box. What does journalling mean to you? Is it drawing, weaving, pinch pots, or something else? It's your personal journey of self-discovery and creativity. So, join us in carving out space in your routine for creation and let your imagination soar!

Information

A daily prompt will be sent to your email, to respond to using any materials you like. Take a picture of your work and share it on your Instagram page using our designated hashtag. This way, we can keep up to date with all the different journal entries each day. Once the challenge concludes, our team will select 20 finalists for consideration by our panel of judges who will choose the winners of each Creative Journalling Challenge prize.
