The Bookmaker Collective - Wendy Solganik- L'il Willa Journal
This class meets on Saturday, June 26 from 4-6pm (PT)/ 7-9pm (ET) AND Sunday, June 27 from 8am-3pm (PT)/11am-6pm (ET) Please check for your time zone. All times on our calendar are listed in the Pacific Timezone.
If you love the look of art journaling but don’t love the feeling of staring down at a blank page, let me show you how to never start with a blank page again! In the “Li’l Willa” workshop, we’ll be using our own home made foam stamps and a gelli plate as the jumping off point for a magnificent journal made from messy underpaper in a size that works for you. We’ll fill our journals with collage fodder, stenciling and marks of all kind, adding a focal image and even some text to complete a few pages or spreads during the workshop.
