In this six-week course, we will go over what creative journaling entails and how you can tailor it to your own life. You can be as freely artistic as you feel, or create a journal template that you can reuse over countless journal pages. We will go over creating "spreads," cutouts, title pages, and other pages to make this creative journal truly personal and tailored to the specific needs of the individual using it. This is a class where creativity, imagination, and organization get to meet!

About the instructor: Farrell Elliott (they/them) is an artist, art therapist, and arts instructor who also oversees the operation of the Ladysmith Gallery. When outside the gallery, studio, or classroom, you can often find Farrell immersed in nature, whether it's out on the water or atop a majestic mountain. At home, Farrell cherishes moments spent in the garden or engaging in joyful baking adventures with their children. "Exploring unconventional materials in my own art practice liberates me from perfectionism and allows me to focus entirely on the creative process, embracing the beauty of imperfection."
