Have you ever want to create a wild, expressive art journal? Bring in earth colors and tones to make something more natural, more free? This is your chance, and it’s called grunge!

A grunge journal is a book designed with a weathered, raw, and intentionally imperfect aesthetic - totally free, totally wild!

We will use a variety of papers with gesso, earthy acrylics, India ink, and coffee to make fabulous one-of-a-kind grunge journals. Students can expect to incorporate textured paper and open-weave fabrics as you collage, as well as mark-making to prepare your book for both personal journaling and abstract, free-form writing.

Let go of your inhibitions and grab hold of this process!

This class will be two consecutive half days. On day one, we'll work with painted and stained pages and covers, and on day two, we'll construct and enhance our books. The class is perfect for both beginning and experienced artists.
