2-day workshop with Shuttle Press & Bindery and Thought Fox Writers Den: Bind your own handmade mini journals, then explore journal writing through guided exercises.DAY 1: MAKE YOUR OWN HANDCRAFTED JOURNALS
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Make a handcrafted journal in a workshop with Dana Campbell, founder/director of Shuttle Press and Bindery. Learn the basics of bookbinding while you sew your own pamphlet stitched books. You'll learn a brief history of bookbinding and will receive guided instruction on how to create your own pamphlet stitch bindings. Select your cover paper, endsheets, and thread color, to create books that are uniquely you. This is a "make and take" class - you will create up to three handcrafted books to take home.
DAY 2: JUMPSTART YOUR YEAR WITH JOURNALING
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
Journaling workshop with Lara Ehrlich, founder/director of Thought Fox Writers Den. A journal is a secret place to share your thoughts, process experiences, interpret dreams, capture memories, make to-do lists, and record the books you’ve read, the wines you’ve tasted, the places you’ve been. Journaling can be therapeutic, inspiring, creative–it can be anything you want it to be. It’s a means by which to discover yourself. We’ll explore a variety of journaling styles (junk journaling, travel log, gratitude journaling, and more) and learn how the practice can make us better writers. We’ll study the journals of creatives like Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, and Lynda Barry, then do guided exercises to get our creative juices flowing.
