It’s a new year - start it with a new form of creativity and self-care. 

In this workshop you will bind a book with recycled materials and begin to develop a journaling practice that continues your own personal creative reflections.

Our workshop will engage you in a meaningful experience. All participants will leave with their own Creative Journal and skills to continue their practice at home.

All materials and tools will be provided along with imaginative prompts to begin your practice.

Join us on an artistic journey that is sustainable and fun! 

Class is Saturday January 11th 10am-4pm, held at Thanks I Made It, located in Cottage Street Studios, 1 Cottage Street Easthampton MA.

Meet your hosts!

Arielle Jessop is a mixed media artist and Art Therapist. She has been practicing journaling in one form or another most of her life. She will be guiding this workshop through the creative input portion of class; focusing on self-reflection, overcoming perfectionism and incorporating image and text in a journaling practice. 

Lisa Hersey is a bookbinder who has been practicing professionally for over 10 years. She understands how precious people treat new books and journals and is excited to bring this book structure to a workshop to help break that clean white page feeling.
