In this in person five-day course we will learn many ways to work with a personal visual ‘diary’. Beyond creating a sketchbook or a diary, we will create a personal visual reference book – a place to explore, express and keep all your thoughts, ideas, and insights. We will use a large variety of open-ended techniques, words, images, and simple materials. Fleeting or persistent inner inspirations or ideas are captured on these pages, creating a vibrant resource for participants to use later in other work, or just to have as a place to enliven meaningful memories. We will also look at the way in which famous artists have used this type of journal as part of their creative lives.
No experience is needed. This is a course for everyone. We all have something worth remembering and honouring. This is a chance to learn how to do that.
