On Sunday I taught a full day workshop called, "Starting an Altered Book" at A Work of Heart in San Jose. Take a peek at the fun we had!
As you can tell from the photos, I was super lucky to have 24 talented, enthusiastic and very generous students who made teaching the class a real pleasure. Store owner, Andrea…
…invited me to come back and teach again next year! Can't hardly wait!
Thanks for stopping by!

It looks like you had a great group and they really enjoyed your class. Art makes smiles and happiness.

Boy, was that a fun day! I’m the one with the face painted on her apron and I had a great time. Julie is a good teacher, as I knew she would be from taking several of her online classes. I’m working away on my book and have already bought a few more old books to alter cause I can tell this is something I want to do more of. Thanks, Julie!

enlighten me please… the difference between an altered book and an art journal (besides the actual journaling of course)? It looks like it was such a fun class!

What a great class this was, Julie, & thanks for posting all the great pix (I’m on the right in the first pic at the top). Julie teaches in such a lighthearted, fun & easy-to-follow style. I love my altered book & can’t wait to do another! See you in San Jose next year, Julie (I hope)!

So much inspiration. I am drawn to look again and again at the photos of the art pages and all those smiling faces.
I already have the books to “alter.” However, it’s so much more fun in a group,
Oh, well, I’m too far away for you to come here, but I thank you for sharing your ideas and enthusiasm.I’ll be thinking of all of you when I alter my book and work in my art journal. Regards to all!
