Creative Journaling Workshop

Join us in our NYC studio for a beginner workshop where you can express yourself through creative journaling!



2 hours 15 mins Location East Village Class size 4 to 7 guests   $25

You will join a small group of other folks looking to play. Open Journal Studio is a creative journaling session where all you need to bring is a journal (or don’t and use one of ours!). There will be a full range of materials to play with, from watercolor paints to magazine images, hand-painted papers, tapes, vintage papers, fabrics, and stickers—truly too many to list.
We will take about 15-20 minutes in the beginning for introductions, and I’ll give a tour of what is available. Towards the end of our time, if desired, we can formally do some “show and tell.”
What you'll get
Access to a range of materials, meeting others who share journaling as an interest, exposure to different styles, and guidance in techniques.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly!
What to bring
A journal (optional, you can use one of ours)

I’ve been an art therapist with a specialty in developing creativity for over 30 years and my greatest joy is providing time and space (and fun materials) for people of all backgrounds and experiences to dive into creativity. I foster an environment that welcomes all—no experience/skill necessary!
I’ve hosted many workshops over the years and am eager to share the love of creative self-expression that is truly available to us all.
