In this special Workshop, you’ll work quick and fast, without judgment, the idea being to keep your inner critic silent. You’ll create a series of pages that are unique to you while learning a variety of new layering techniques involving collage, acrylics, markers, stencils, stamps, and more. After some time spent creating this way, you’ll step back and think about your pages. You’ll learn to look and process your pages with new eyes. You’ll then rework your pages into all new original journal pages.
Supplies to Bring: Basic Craft Kit (BCK), including craft or nonstick sheet; journal or paper to work on; scissors; apron; bone folder; cork back metal ruler; roll of paper towels; permanent black ink pad (only if you have one); container for paint water; 1″ paint brush for glue and paint (Kelly suggests chip or bristle brushes); your favorite glue sticks (large glue sticks will last longer); roll of waxed paper or an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don’t want to use all of your waxed paper); and small selection of your favorite collage ephemera*. All other materials and supplies will be provided.

10:00pm – 2:00pm
This journal is the ultimate in play. Kelly tells us that she’s always looking for new ways to revitalize her favorite techniques. Think lush layers of paint, paper, tape, stencils, pen work, and more all bound into little bundles of creativity. You’ll start the Workshop by creating rich layers of painted pages. You’ve only just begun as you step back, revisit your pages, and start to think about how you can assemble them into books. Before the tearing and the binding begin, you’ll go through and collage your pages (Kelly will show you how to collage them so that when you fold and assemble them you will have pages ready for you to work on.) After you’ve finished assembling your journal, you’ll step back again and learn techniques for on the go or art journaling using minimal supplies.
Supplies to Bring: Basic Craft Kit (BCK), including craft or nonstick sheet; scissors; apron; bone folder; cork back metal ruler; full roll of paper towels or old rags; permanent black ink pad (only if you have one); container for paint water; 1″ to 2″ paint brush for glue and paint (Kelly suggests chip or bristle brushes), as well as a few smaller, detail brushes; your favorite glue sticks (large glue sticks will last longer); roll of waxed paper or an old catalog or magazine to glue on (if you don’t want to use all of your waxed paper); and small selection of your favorite collage ephemera*. All other materials and supplies will be provided.
