Making a little book by hand is an enriching and rewarding experience because you can add your unique personality and style to each one. Like all art projects, the ‘process’ makes it deeply therapeutic, helping to reduce stress, enhance mindfulness, and provide a sense of accomplishment.
In this workshop, you will learn how to make two different types of miniature ‘Artist Books’ using mixed-media techniques as well as drawing, painting, and collage skills.
You’ll be given structure and guidance, as well as the freedom to experiment and grow as an artist (if you prefer), as you create something that is both beautiful and meaningful.
Once created, the pages of your book can hold many secrets so you will also be shown how to fill the pages and make the contents (the subject matter) either fun and whimsical or deeply personal, the choice will be yours.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the know-how and confidence to make many more ‘little books’ to record your thoughts and feelings about moments in your life (or gift to your friends and family). These books could also be filled with sketches, photographs, and other memorabilia that hold sentimental value.
You’ll discover the time invested in making these ‘little books’ takes ‘Art Journalling’ to a whole new level as they will be cherished forever.
By the way, a ‘ZINE’ is essentially a small self-published magazine filled with words and images, and they can be made about any subject you are interested in! Please note, that this workshop is very different from the ‘Little Books – Mixed Media Keepsake (pocketbooks)’ workshop.

I am a bachelor qualified art educator who has a wealth of experience in teaching adults and children of all ages so I can tailor my classes to meet your individual needs to help you feel relaxed and supported every step of the way.
Studio Yellow is the culmination of a long-held desire, to help adults, connect with their own creativity and develop the skills and confidence needed to make art and nurture good mental health.
Studio Yellow caters for all levels. I can help the most tentative of beginners take that very first step toward art-making or inspire those with some experience to further develop the skills you already have.
