Cosy Journaling Workshop: Seasonal Themes and Mindful Making

A soothing journaling escape to quiet a busy mind and spark your daily creativity.



2 hours Location Haymarket Class size 1 to 20 (public classes), 6 to 12   $33 - $38 (Earlybird price of $33 applies if you book into a public session 31+ days ahead)

Join me for a slow, hands-on afternoon exploring mindful journaling—the kind that turns a blank page from something intimidating into a sweet, low-pressure creative pause. We’ll be working with lovely paper goodies, washi tape, and cute details to build journal pages you'll actually want to look back on.
Whether you've ever stared at a blank page and closed it without writing a thing, or you're a seasoned journaler looking for a fresh spark of inspiration and a cosy community table, this space is for you. Absolute beginners and longtime notebook lovers are equally welcome. No "neat handwriting" required, just come as you are to find your creative flow and rhythm!

Hi there! Swallow Wind Art has been creating and making adorable paper goodies in Sydney since 2020. My name is Fiona, the heart behind Swallow WInd Art. My love for journaling and doodling blossomed as a personal escape, much like crafting my cute designs.
That's why I'm thrilled to offer workshops—to help you discover your creative spark, no matter your skill. Seeing someone's face light up when they create something sweet is my favorite! I love providing a cozy space to explore, breaking down those ‘I'm not artistic’ barriers. I truly believe creativity is for everyone, a way to find joy and calm.
Fun fact: journaling and doodling are about intuition, not perfection! Like my cute-themed designs, your doodles will be uniquely yours. I love using different pens and textures for a tactile experience, and I'm always doodling cute little things on the go! Just as I try to be mindful, I encourage finding joy in the little things. Inspiration comes from everywhere, and I bring that into my workshops, helping you connect with simple, heartwarming moments.
