DAY ONE: MULTI-SURFACED JOURNAL EXPLORATION
Dina’s Media Journal is full of interesting surfaces: burlap, canvas, kraft paper, and handmade watercolor paper. And Dina has incredible paints, rubber stamps, art crayons and other products that produce different results on different surfaces. Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter – what a great combo! This workshop is perfect for experimenting and exploring with various surfaces and art supplies.
The uber-cool part? Dina’s New Mixed Media Journal is included in the class price. We will stamp, stencil, paint, cut, print, tip in, tear and have a great day of journaling, playing, and getting our hands dirty. If you’re like me, you are in awe of this Journal but not quite sure where to start, here’s a terrific time to dive in!
