About the Workshop:
Step into "Blossoms and Quill: A Journey in Watercolor and Words" – a cozy, creative space where wildflowers dance on the pages and words flow like a gentle stream. This workshop is a canvas for your personal tales told through art and letters.
What You’ll Explore:
Wildflower Wonders:
It's all about discovery and delight in your own creative journey. You'll get to experiment with colors and shapes, crafting wildflowers that are uniquely yours, in an atmosphere that celebrates exploration and the pure joy of making art.
Serenity in Script:
Learn the art of peaceful Garden Grid Lettering. You’ll discover how to craft letters that whisper stories and echo the peacefulness of a quiet garden.
Diary Delights:
Your journal is a treasure chest of your moments. We’ll intertwine art with words, making each page a reflection of your personal journey.
Craft Beyond the Journal:
But the journey doesn't end with journal entries. Take your newfound skills and let them blossom in countless ways. Picture crafting personalized cards, bookmarks, gift tags, and more. The possibilities are boundless!!
A Personal Touch:
Here’s to the magic of making something that's all yours. "Blossoms and Quill" isn’t just about painting and writing. It’s about unlocking the universe that lies in a single drop of paint and a flick of the pen.
There is no right or wrong to journaling. It's a deeply personal practice and through this workshop I wish to create a space for ourselves to express our thoughts and feelings without judgement or expectations. As we move through our sessions, I wish for us to embrace the idea that our journals are extensions of ourselves.
Let’s celebrate the art of feeling good and making beautiful things together.
The workshop will be recorded and available for three months.
Recommended Experience: Beginner through advanced
