Illustrated Journaling

Saturday, August 9th, 2025

Tuition: $20

It's well known that journaling is a reliable technique for self-introspection, creative expression, and processing the world around you. In this class we'll combine writing exercises that help spark your imagination with sketching, collecting, and coloring. Take the pressure off of creating a pristine journal, and instead create something that is usable, fun, and a reflection of the person that you are! Participants should bring their own journal--any size, lined/unlined, whatever--a writing utensil, and a short quote or writing sample that speaks to them.
