Come and create your own concertina-style sketch book with a difference – an ideal travel journal or nature journal and create a memory of the world around you. You will design and create your own covers, learn to fold and cut your paper and add an elastic strap to keep it altogether. You may like to use your journal and conclude the weekend by attending Sandra Morris’ Nature Journalling course on Sunday 22 September.
Students should bring the following:
We will provide all other materials and tools including cotton paper, backing board, elastic, papers, paints and other materials. Tea and coffee will be provided in the staffroom.
Anyone interested in learning how to make a simple sketchbook with a difference. Ideal for personal use or to give as a gift to someone interested in journaling. Suitable for all, no previous art experience needed. If you are attending Sandra Morris’ Nature Journaling workshop, why not make your own journal to take along!
Lesley is a botanical and nature artist. She loves learning about the natural world through drawing, painting and keeping sketchbooks! Having her own handmade sketchbooks to record her travels and the natural world around her allows Lesley to recall her experiences with greater understanding. Lesley enjoys sharing her skills with others and would love you to show you how to create a beautiful handmade journal to keep your own memories alive.
The course was very satisfying. Lesley is a great teacher. She is skilled, inclusive, and down-to-earth. Her process for creating the sketchbooks was well-prepared and easy to follow. She managed the different work-rates within the class group well, giving short lessons to those who were ready to move ahead, and assisting those who needed more time or advice to progress their projects. The workshop is suitable for artists and non-artists alike as Lesley shows how to make a simple cover for the sketchbooks that looks really stunning once adorned and glued on.
