I'm super psyched to be part of an exciting day long art journaling workshop that Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine is hosting. It's called "Art Journaling Live." It's on October 26 from 8am-5pm in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The all-inclusive day (all art supplies are provided!!) includes classes from four fabulous art journalers:
Traci Bautista, author of Doodles Unleashed and Collage Unleashed, will be teaching a class called "Printmaking Unleashed."
Create art journal backgrounds and collage papers using handmade tools. Explore mark making and create colorful layers with simple printmaking techniques using prints, paper cutouts and monotypes. Learn how to add mark making, custom colors and patterns, and printmaking to your journals. Use stencils and masks to take your journal sessions to a deeper level of self discovery. Create in a positive and fun-filled atmosphere with other art journal fans of all abilities. Scribble, paint, doodle, and journal your way through a fun and exciting day of artistic explorations.
Pam Carriker, author of Art at the Speed of Life, will be teaching a class called "Face Mask."
Most of us try to put our best face forward, but often underneath there are many things going on that our outward appearance masks. In this self-examining art journaling exercise, you’ll learn masking techniques for creating a "safe zone" to unload those thoughts and feelings our outward mask hides. From the silly to the serious, recording your inner thoughts in an artistic way is a valuable self-awareness tool and the mixed-media process satisfies the creative soul.
Dina Wakley, author of Art Journal Freedom, will be teaching a class called "Paint it Out."
Join Dina for a fun, therapeutic art experience. You'll start by creating a mess! You’ll scribble, make marks, write out thoughts and feelings, and let the emotions spill. Anything goes! Then you'll examine your messes and find shapes and forms in the chaos. Learn how to isolate the shapes and forms and to create beauty from the mess. You'll end with lots of layers that peek out, interact, and vibrate with meaning.
And then there's me! I'll be teaching a class called "Color & Pattern Play."
Get ready to play with paint! I'm going to show you how easy it is to create complicated patterns full of color and energy. And speaking of color, we'll be mixing up our own custom colors so that your art journal pages are bursting with your own unique flavor!
I hope that you'll join the four of us for a day of painting and making and laughing and generally have an awesome time! To register, visit the official website here.
Thanks for stopping by!

I’m figuring out how to make the money to get there. I’m determined. We have a few other travel plans in the works and nature, and animals were hard on our veggies this last month. It sure looks amazing.

Looks like a lot of fun! But I already have tickets to a lecture by Thich Nhat Hanh on 10/26 in Oakland, CA. So that makes it impossible to be in two very different places at once. Bring this workshop on a road trip to the West Coast sometime soon!
Aloha, Kate
