I’m teaching my very first art journaling class at our local library. I’ve developed this class from all of my playing in my art journals over the past two years. I know how much fun I’ve had that I just wanted to share it with others.
This class is very different from classes I’ve designed and taught in the past since it has very little writing and can be really messy!
Several of the gals wore aprons for this second session after the first session of painting. I brought my camera to this class to catch the action as everyone stamped and stenciled the art journals they had just made.









Unfortunately, my pictures of Karen and Deanette did not turn out, and Liz and Barbara missed out on the fun.
One thing I stress in this class is to have fun. Don’t worry about perfect and just play. There are no mistakes. I was amazed at the painting in the first session. Every page was beautiful. The stamping and stenciling pages in this class were also very different, but again really pretty. It sure is fun to spend an afternoon with such a talented group of women!
I’m really looking forward to next week when we collage.
Wow girl! You have a following! Great for you….and I know they are having a blast. Looks like tons of fun, Lynda.

Oh yeah…and you need some of those The Crafter’s Workshop stencils thrown into the mix too…

Kathy, I’ve got quite a few of those stencils now, but not sure we have time to revisit stenciling. Lots to cover in 5 sessions!
This looks like a very fun class! My guess is that you’re getting some good ideas from your students, too! Have fun!

I want to come play, is it too late?
Scarlet, Yes, it’s too late and the class is full. I’m sorry!! Lynda
Denny, You are so right. It was so much fun watching them do their own thing – taking my directions and then running with it. Lynda
Lynda i love your blog and your creativity. You go girl! Thanks for all the great techniques.

Lynda,
Looks like I’m missing out on a “fun” learning experience. All of the girls a so creative and have a great time when together. You are right! Carolyn’s page does match her scarf. Too funny! Great pictures.
Ronda, It has been so much fun. They seem to really enjoy the exercises. Lynda
We are having such a great time in your class. I can’t wait for this Wednesday to see what we’re doing. I’m really enjoying your blog, Lynda.
