Have you ever wanted to capture your writing as visual pieces or just curious to learn how to illustrate in a journal? Perhaps your'e planning a trip and want to explore travel journaling with a creative twist? This workshop is the perfect introduction to visual journaling exploring colours, drawing, and interpreting text as we learn about the benefits of daily sketching and drawing.

Creating with pencil, watercolour, and Posca pens, this workshop has you drawing 3 small artworks and learning how to capture an image from your writing. Journaling has many healing benefits and not only is it an effective method for stress reduction, it is also considered a creative way to express personal narratives, life stories, and bringing meaning through imagery, creative writing, and story sharing.

This 2-hour workshop is open to all skill levels, you are welcome to bring your journals or come to learn and explore with the materials I provide. We will be looking at the different ways to journal, explore colour, simplified drawing techniques and turning words into images. Please leave your expectation of perfection at the door; these workshops were created for you to let go, play, be curious all while stepping into your creativity.

❤️ Bodhi is my Havanese dog and your welcoming committee. He takes his role very seriously, but if you are uncomfortable with dogs, please let me know. He is a hypoallergenic fluff ball who will make you feel very welcome.

I will be providing herbal teas on arrival and there is The Grumpy Baker downstairs so you are welcome to grab a coffee and bring to the workshop.
