Creative Art Journalling Workshop

Give yourself permission to play, make mistakes and experiment with your own creativity



3 hours Location Yeerongpilly Class size 1 to 20 (public classes), 4 to 30   $45

Would you like to create and play without restriction? Jot down ideas, thoughts or feelings and reflect in a creative way? Or just need a mental escape from the everyday with colour fun, support and friends?
Art Journaling is a way to enable all this---a place of personal expression. But where do you start?
Join this art journalling class with Annette for three hours of creative fun! You can work through your thoughts and ideas, experiment with different art techniques and splash paint around to your heart's desire. And the absolute best part is there are NO RULES. Just a creative space to let go.
