In 2007, on a holiday in the US, I picked up a book about art journaling. It was Lynn Perrella’s Artist’s Journals and Sketchbooks. I loved it because it was crafts, not FINE ART. It was about very personal stuff, not big concepts. It was about images AND text. And is was meant to be fun and playful.
By Lynn Perella, see her Artist’s Journals book
By Sas Colby, same book.. reminds me of Lari Washburns work..
So – it struck a chord.
And everything I have made over the past few years originated from there.
And so for the big news – on May 27-28th there is an art event in my area where they’ll show my prints and where I will teach two Art Journaling mini-workshops. Jay! I am really excited. I have always wondered if teaching Art Journaling wouldn’t be fun and now I get to try it out.
The workshops will take an hour and they will be free.
We will provide all of the materials and cover the basic techniques, so anyone participating will make a few pages and will know how to do it at home.
Since it is a Dutch event I will continue in Dutch for now:
Dit is het kader: Uit de Kunst Bilthoven.
Dit is de datum: zaterdag 28 mei, 11-12 uur en 16-17 uur.
Kosten: materiaalkosten, € 10
Plaats en opgeven: klik hier om een email te sturen dat je meedoet aan de Bilthovense boekhandel, Emmaplein 20 (recht tegenover Station Bilthoven). Vermeld: 11 uur of 16 uur!

Ha! Grappig om opeens persoonlijk aangesproken te worden in dit bericht.. Leuk dat je de foto hebt gebruikt. Mocht je hem ooit nog eens in hogere resolutie nodig hebben, dan hoor ik het wel!

Hey! Congratulations! I wish you had given me a private tutorial in art journaling when you were here! (whine, whine.) I think that, for me, it would be a wonderful way to get rolling! (I know you've told me that before.) Save all your teacher notes and then send them to me!
