Calligraphic and mixed media artist Holly Dean will lead you through the
delightful experience of creating a handmade muse journal. A rare book
of your own where you can spill your thoughts and ideas, hopes and
fears, dreams and desires. Write, sketch, doodle and paint…
Mixed media art on canvas panels will become the front and back covers. Each signature will be wrapped with decorative paper. A sturdy Coptic binding allows the journal to lie flat when open. Learn techniques and develop your artist’s eye to enhance your own work. For the artistically experienced or the curious beginner.
Supplies to bring: acrylic paints & mediums you have on hand, brushes, palette knife or old credit card, Olfa or X-Acto knife; imagery, text, decorative papers. Other materials supplied.
Follow Your Muse!
