Sample Art Journal/Handmade Book by Debra Hart, Debra Hart Studio

One of the things I love most about exploring Art Journaling & Bookmaking in my own studio practice is that they not only can easily be enjoyed by artists of most genres with a few basic supplies that you likely already own! The magic really happens when these two media are merged together:  I have seen time and again that engaging in these fun materials can move you from a place of lacking inspiration or being in a creative rut into being activated to play and enjoy your creativity once again. I’m SO honored to be invited to teach a workshop as guest presenter by the Carrollton Artist Guild on this very thing!

In this new workshop, designed by a professional fine artist for other artists, I’ll share my love of what I call Inspired Art Journal & Bookmaking and how the marriage of these two beautiful art forms has improved my creative practice. I’ll discuss the essence of each, why I teach it as an “inspired” method in various forms, the tools and substrates used, and how it can be a wondrous habit for you to explore, play, and inspire your own studio time and even inform your creative voice. Demonstrating various art journal books and tools of the trade, I’ll pop some ideas your way for beautiful gifts, event favors, or for use in your promotional, marketing and sales efforts if you’re an artist-entrepreneur!

And the best part? I’m bringing “all the things” so you can play and experiment with creating your own inspired books!
