Art Journal Workshop with Deborah Fell

Friday - Sunday, April 12 - 14, 2024; 9am-4pm

This art journaling workshop complements SebARTS’ “Pulp” Book Arts exhibition.

Each student will create an art journal book. Any materials can be used--cloth, paper, paint....and anything else you can think of. This mixed media journal workshop has no rules so nothing can be done in a wrong way. Collaboration, rather than competition, is the goal.

Students will decide on a theme and a mantra to guide design ideas. Bring your own supplies as needed for your independent project.
