Leather Longstitch Journal & Sketchbook Diaries
After creating your own beautiful large Leather Long stitch Journal you will start you fill it under the guidance of Chrissie Nicholls of Ink Pot and Pen, the author of ‘The Diary of an Artist in Lockdown’.
Learn ways and tricks to document your life visually, using collage, hand lettering, illustration, maps and so much more.This packed workshop will give you the confidence to start recording not just the wonderful things that happen in life, but also the small details and the tricky moments.
We all know journalling is good for our souls and peace of mind but not everyone can sit and write, some of us want to include drawings and some of us speak in images rather than with words. We’ll also cover sketchbook nerves and how to overcome that first mark on the page.
If you can draw, think you can’t draw, haven’t drawn for a while, then this workshop is for you. All levels welcome, everyone will learn something and take away a sketchbook and head full of ideas!
Some prompts and suggestions will be sent out beforehand to help you gather ideas, observations and reference materials so you can arrive with something personal to work with and not have to come up with ideas on the day....although often these ideas may well develop or change as the day progresses!
