In this three-hour workshop, you will construct a 12 × 12-inch concertina art journal and begin creating its first completed color story.
The journal opens into three horizontal strips arranged within a single handmade cover. Using the Color Box or Color Flow cards, you will choose a palette and explore it across all three strips through paint, marks, texture, collage, and intuitive creative play.
No previous experience is needed.
During the workshop, you will
Construct the concertina journal and its cover, learn how the fold-out strips are arranged, select a color palette, and create the first three connected journal strips.
What you will take home
Your completed concertina journal structure, along with its first three-part color palette page.
Experience level
No previous bookmaking or art-journaling experience is needed. The workshop focuses on exploration rather than creating a predetermined image.
