  Custom Journal/Sketchbook Build

  Two Day Workshop  

       

                 

  I get it:  you want it how you want it.  I know I do! 

  That’s why I like to make my own custom journals/sketchbooks.  From the covers to what lurks within, you can make your journal your own. 

  Join me for this two-day workshop where we’ll make a journal from the ground up!

  Topics covered will include: 

  ·       Surface prep – what you make your book with matters!
  ·       Making collage papers – We’ll explore various techniques to create a stash of collage papers for your book, including altering preprinted papers, coffee and tea staining, gel printing, freezer paper, stamping techniques
  ·       Mark making – use of items other than paint brushes to apply paint, including caps, corks, sponges, fingers…
  ·       Layering – Layering is integral to the process.  Prep, collage, paint, stamp, stencil, repeat…
  ·       Nifty Bits – How to make envelopes, pockets, foldouts
  ·       Finishing Touches – Beads, charms, ribbons…
  

  Each participant will receive:

  ·       2 sheets 5.5 x 8 inch cardboard for cover
  ·       1 cinch coil for binding
  ·       15 sheets 5.5 x 8 inch 140 lb watercolor paper for pages
  ·       Cardstock for making envelopes/pockets
  ·       String/elastic/ribbon for closures
  ·      A small supply of different papers to color and create collage papers for your stash.

  Various tools for mark-making will also be provided, along with various adhesive options for putting it all together, a limited supply of stencils, ink pads, stamps, and gel plates to try.

  Each participant needs to bring:

  ·       Lunch
  ·       Acrylic Paint (any weight will do – even craft paint)
  ·       Paint brushes – your choice – bigger is better for priming
  ·       Gel plate if you have one
  ·       Brayer
  ·       Matte gel for collaging
  ·       1 Princeton Catalyst Polytip filbert size 8 brush for applying collage
  ·       Large, heavy book for assembling cover (weight it down overnight)
  ·       Extra papers to color for collage – book pages, copy paper, rice paper, maps, sheet music, or collage papers you already have and would like to use
  ·       Other paper for book pages if you don’t want watercolor paper as your basic substrate
  ·       Pencil
  ·       Eraser
  ·       Markers, pens
  ·       Water container(s)
  ·       Paper towels
  ·       Ruler
  ·       Scissors
  ·      Stencils (optional)

  This workshop will be limited to 10 participants. 

  Online registration is required.
