Art Journalling Course 4 Week Booking

THIS IS A 4 WEEK COURSE 1st JULY to 22nd JULY

In this 4-week course, you will learn how to start a creative journal to help you explore daily life through art.

Allowing yourself the space to find creative freedom, express your thoughts and emotions, Art Journalling can help create a sense of wellbeing.

There are no rules, no right or wrong way to journal. During the course you will explore various art techniques and materials helping you find creative confidence and rid the fear of a blank page! Art Journalling can be a form of creative self-care.

All materials will be provided along with a journal to keep and work on beyond the group. It is a place to record your thoughts, memories and emotions through images, art and words.
