Ever wondered what becomes of a well-loved children’s book once its story has been told? In this joyful hands-on workshop, we’ll breathe new lie into sturdy-paged storybooks, transforming them into vibrant, personal art journals.

Join artist and instructor Leona as we paint, collage, and layer meaning onto each page. You’ll learn how to:

Prep board books for mixed media magic

Use gesso, watercolor, and collage to build dreamy backgrounds

Add poetic prompts, textures and nature inspired details

Create a journal that’s part memory, part masterpiece

Whether you’re a seasoned creative or just dipping your brush into the world of art journaling this workshop invites you to play, reflect and reimagine.
