About this class

In this course, I'll show you how to bind your own beautiful art journal out of thick, precious papers and customize the cover.

Together, we'll start by folding the sheets and sewing/binding your creative notebook. In the course of the course, we will create the first pages of your art journal using various great materials, such as watercolors and acrylic paints, as well as chalks, pens, foils, collage materials and other materials, and you will be amazed at what great pictures and pages you can create. The Art Journal has space for your thoughts and feelings and at the same time is a great playground for frolicking around and experimenting with different materials and colors.

And if you don't like a page, you can easily paint over it again or develop it until something great is created.

What you’ll do in the class

In the first one and a half to two hours, we will bind together an art journal out of high-quality paper. We then use watercolors to create the first backgrounds and learn techniques for creatively designing backgrounds without the need for much previous knowledge. In doing so, we also explore one or the other emotional, relaxed approach to your favorite colors.

At around 1 pm, we will have a lunch break, during which you can either grab something to eat on Eisenbahnstraße or use our small snack.

The second half is then about more concrete design with your backgrounds and composition or the intuitive creation of your image.

At the end, we'll take a look at your wonderful art journals.

Who is the class suitable for?

People aged 12-99 who want to be creative in a new way and want to continue working with their art journal for a long time to come.
