TIME: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
FACILITATOR: Becky Gallagher
Step into a cozy creative space where coffee becomes both muse and medium. This workshop invites beginners to explore art journaling for the first time and offers experienced journalers a chance to reconnect with foundational techniques in a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere.
Class Description
Brewed coffee transforms into art through washes, drips, rings, and splatters that create beautifully unpredictable textures in shades of cream, caramel, and deep roast. Once dry, you’ll layer simple line drawings, collage, and reflective writing inspired by comfort, ritual, and the small moments that help us slow down.
The process encourages mindfulness and playful experimentation—perfect for those learning to let go of perfection or seeking fresh inspiration for their established practice.
Art journaling offers a flexible, meaningful way to document your days, reflect on your thoughts, notice gratitude, and build a creative routine that fits your life.
During the session, you’ll explore easy journaling rhythms—daily, weekly, or monthly—and experiment with pens, paints, collage papers, and more. Each page becomes an opportunity to discover your style, whether you’re just beginning or refining your artistic voice.
This workshop also nurtures a growing community of journalers—like a book club for images, words, and reflection—where participants share ideas, learn from one another, and find inspiration in the many ways people use their journals to record everyday experiences and creative discoveries.
What to Bring
Please bring any journal or sketchbook you enjoy using—lined, blank, or dot grid, in any size that feels comfortable. You may bring one from home or purchase a multimedia journal in class if you would like thicker paper for paint and collage.
Feel free to bring your favorite drink to enjoy while creating.
