Unlock Your Creativity: Art Journal Retreat

Have you ever felt the urge to bring more creativity into your life but weren't sure where to begin? If the idea of art journals has piqued your interest, but the thought of “not being an artist" held you back, fear not! Join me for a unique two-and-a-half-day retreat at the picturesque Blue Spring Creek Retreat, where we'll dive into the fantastic world of art journaling.

What to Expect:

• Handmade Journals: I’ll teach you how to make your own art journal using old books, found papers, paint and fabric. This retreat is good for beginners to seasoned art journalers! Discover the art of creating cohesive signatures by selecting the right papers for your journals. We’ll use a simple technique to bind it all together. And as a bonus, we’ll work on your first layout to give you some ideas of how to use your new journal. 

• Background Pages: Immerse yourself in the creative process by making vibrant background pages. We will select one color (plus black and white) in a variety of mediums to create papers that will be used in our journals.

What's Included: All necessary supplies are provided to create your journal, however, feel free to bring your own materials to add a personal touch to your creation. Lodging is included in the fee. Food is not included, but we have done pot luck community meals in the past and it’s been a lot of fun. 

Leave with a Masterpiece: By the end of the retreat, you'll not only have acquired a new creative practice but will leave with your hand-made art journal— a tangible representation of the beginning of your new creative practice.
