A complete introduction to Art Journaling including your own journal, writing prompt deck and supplies. This is a 2-hour class.
<h3>If you have been wanting to try Art Journaling, this is for you.</h3>
What
 is Art Journaling? It's the same idea as a written journal or diary, 
but instead of writing everything, we use paint, pieces of colored 
paper, scraps from book pages, tissue paper...and the list goes on. You 
can write in your art journal...or not. It can have a theme...or not.
In
 this complete introduction to Art Journaling, you’ll learn some great 
techniques and have plenty of time to work in your journal. This is a 
2-hour class.
Includes a mixed media, lay-flat journal, a deck of 
writing prompts, art supplies to use in the class and a “to-go" bag to 
take some materials home. You don’t need any experience with art 
journaling! We are meeting inside Mill Kat Healing Arts with easy 
parking and right behind Scooters Coffee. This is going to be awesome!
