Your journal can be a sketchbook, repurposed book, or self-made book, using paper, paints or collages. It can include both text and images from photos, sketches and other sources -- the possibilities are endless. Your journal can be used for goal setting, journal spilling, exploring the past or future, or logging your travels. Join this four-session class and start journaling.
