Art journals are great ways to practice techniques, work through feelings, document memories or thoughts, and grow as a creator.

Sharing your art journals on social media is a great way to challenge yourself, engage with others, and get noticed.

This class is about styling art journals: layouts, page elements, handmade bindings, unique creations. We will compose scenes to photograph them and post on instagram, facebook, etsy, your blog, or other sites. We will use a supplies that you may already have on hand and a few that you can easily acquire. Our goal when styling art journals is to create scenes that showcase the artwork and compliment it.

In this class, we cover a number of styling ideas.
