This journaling workshop is for students of all levels.

During this workshop, you will learn how to integrate calligraphy/handwriting and images in a sketchbook, and will gain confidence in facing the “blank page.”  A calligraphic journal can be experienced as a process—a way of self discovery through visually expressing one’s feelings, thoughts and ideas.  Throughout the class you will be offered a series of “jumping off” exercises designed to help lessen fear, and to ease your way into your blank book. 

Additional exercises on improvisational writing, composition, drawing, and visual journal prompts and techniques will be included.  Group collaborations and discussions will also be part of the class. By the end of the week, you will have a process for creating, which you will continue beyond the class.  In addition to working in blank books, you will have the opportunity to bind a simple journal.
