About the event
November 8 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Grab a coffee or tea and come for a morning art meet up at the Arts & Heritage Hub! Junk journaling is all about creating messy and imperfect art using a mash up of materials both new and repurposed. Working in a journal (sketchbook), play with different materials such as markers, paints, magazines, buttons, and pastels to create mixed media pages around a theme provided or your own inspiration.
There are three sessions, sign up for as many as you want. Each session will include a different demo that you can choose to follow or not.
November 8 – Transparency (Tape Transfers)
November 15 – Pockets
November 22 – Flaps and Foldouts
Materials will be provided.
Participants are welcome to bring a journal (sketchbook) of their choice. This can be a store bought one, preferably made up of art paper so it can withhold wet mediums if you plan on using paints. Or you can make one. There will be a couple of handmade journals available by donation.
Admission is by donation. Proceeds will go towards education programming with the Arts Council of Ladysmith.
