About the event
Dive into a fresh approach to journaling with our visual journaling class, where we'll blend paint and collage to create expressive, one-of-a-kind journals. We’ll kick off by binding our own simple journals, then move on to painting vibrant backgrounds and layering in imagery and text—think photos, magazine clippings, old letters, shopping lists, doodles, and more. No previous art experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play. Whether you’re looking to explore new artistic avenues or enhance your existing practice, this class is your gateway to a creative journey.
Class is capped at 15 participants. Registration is required. All ages. A parent or guardian must accompany youth under 12 years of age.
Beth Bakkum Bio: Midway through my career as a coach and corporate trainer, I discovered that a creative thread from my early life had been missing. This realization set me on a new path, leading me to explore and embrace creativity and art-making over the past two decades. I began with visual journaling and have since delved into binding artist books that combine painting, collage, and hand sewing. My artistic process is intuitive and often delightfully messy, focusing on enhancing mental well-being through creative expression.Recently, I've been channeling my experience into creativity coaching, helping others uncover their own paths to artistic discovery. I find immense fulfillment in guiding individuals as they tap into their creative potential, enriching both their lives and mine.
