About this Event
Please join our 10A-12P Journaling Club at Los Encinos State Historic Park in San Fernando Valley/Los Angeles CA!
Lovely to meet you!
My name is Ashley and I'm the California Naturalist and Art Therapist hosting this journaling club.
If you're interested in meeting folks who enjoy nature, art, journaling, scrapbooking, collaging, bookmaking, and other creative arts at parks then this may be the event for you~
We will have a FREE "open studio" for community members to come and make art between 10A-12P at Los Encinos State Historic Park! It is a small yet precious cultural site conveniently located in a residential area with a free parking lot and restrooms.
You are welcome to bring your lunch/snacks/hydration to be comfortable and enjoy the park. You can also bring personal journals or materials for artmaking, though we will have some basic creative supplies available to use for free! :)
DESCRIPTION OF THE JOURNALING CLUB:
Every Sunday on these dates, we will host a journaling club to teach you different journaling techniques and support your creative process. We encourage you to come to each event to get the most out of the experience, yet all are welcome to come to a session or two that inspires you:
11/10 - Session 1: A Beginner’s Guide (How to Make A Journal)
11/17 - Session 2: Finding Your Creative Voice (Basics of Composition)
11/24 - BREAK for Thanksgiving
12/1 - Session 3: Cultivating Creativity (Basics of Mixed Media Art)
12/8 - Session 4: Creating Community (Journaling Outdoors in Nature)
DESCRIOTION OF THE "OPEN STUDIO":
An "open studio" is an event where artists open their studios to the public for a limited time. The goal of an "open studio" is to encourage creativity and experimentation, and to provide a space for cultural exchange and conversation. We are grateful to have access to the lovely, peaceful park and amenities at Los Encinos State Historic Park. There is no pressure to come/stay for the entire time. Showing up is good enough and our staff will be there to support you. :) <3
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
I have a MA in Art Therapy with a Specialization in Counseling and I am certified in nature journaling through the Wild Wonder Foundation. These sessions are informal classes where I will share information about journaling, show examples of my own journals, and provide informational zines, art materials, and other resources for you to use. :)
WHAT TO BRING:
- One liter of water, snacks/food, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, hiking boots or shoes with good traction, daypack, hiking poles/sticks, shorts and a T-shirt or long pants and long sleeved shirt, depending on weather.
- Art supplies and your personal journal if you desire. The park will provide basic materials like pens, pencils, cardboard, paper, coloring supplies, and more to share! :)
- You are responsible for your health and wellness! I am Wilderness First Aid trained for basic needs, but I am not a doctor. We have staff who are certified for WFR and more as well, but please prepare and take care of any health needs you may have.
