Hi friends

I've been contemplating changing the title of this meeting to Art Journal Monthly or some such title since most of us have been sharing our journal art lately - super cool! Pretty much we spend most of our time chatting and catching up.. and we always leave inspired to create... isn't that what its all about? So if you are interested in journals, altered books, collage, creative stamping and any other mixed media art this casual get together is for you. All welcome.

Last month's Artist Trading Card workshop was so fun we didn't want to stop and all the participants asked that I book in another so they could come again. So I have and its this Saturday! Featuring collage techniques and texture paste and custom embellishments. Plus includes very nice image pack to do many many more Artist Trading Cards and mixed media projects.



As you can see there are lots of creative learning and activities to join in. All welcome, you don't need to have been to classes before to start with any of these workshops. All of our tutors are friendly and welcoming!
