Saturday, August 24th from 1-3pm Join us for Restoration Through Creativity - an Art Journaling Workshop with Huntsville artist, Monica Yother. Registration is $55 and includes instruction and materials.

Restoration: the act of restoring; renewal, revival, or reestablishment.

The benefits of creative activities are well recorded, and not disputed. Art journaling is a form of art that is very personal, highly engaging, and can be beneficial in many ways. An art journal can be a place to record thoughts, ideas, emotions, memories or lessons learned. It can be a place to work through fear, grief, or a creative block. An art journal can be a place to explore ideas, places, or new creative territory.

This workshop will introduce you to the practice of art journaling. You'll be supplied with a new journal made especially for this purpose, materials to use in your journal, a primer, writing prompts, and instruction on some simple techniques to get your started. You'll be able to take some materials home to continue.

No artistic experience is needed, it doesn't matter if you have never picked up a paint brush or if you are a regular crafter. Art Journaling is a truly unique form of expression that each person makes their own.

This workshop is being presented at Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts as part of our "Healing Through Art" programming.
