I recently taught two two-day weekday workshops at A Work of Heart in San Jose, CA.  I always enjoy teaching there and have the great luck of encountering some super kind and generous students who keep my spirits high!  Take a peek at the fun we had!

First up, my Flip, Flaps & Fold Outs class that is all about creating a really cool art journal structure:

  • Looks like a blast!
    I love the woman in red in the first workshop who held up her blank journal with some card dividers (gotta work at your own pace).

  • As always I learned SO MUCH from you and had a total BLAST! I’ve been busy making more and more tape ever since class. I love my Amazing Tape Bound Journal and I’m excited to make more junk journals with the techniques we learned. Anyone out there who doesn’t live near a city that Julie teaches – plan a vacation! : ) It will totally be worth it!
