ABOUT THIS EVENT

Arts & DIY

Event Overview

Art Journaling 101: Altered Books offers a taste of the beautiful world of mixed media and art journaling through the upcycling of discarded books. Collage, watercolor, inks, stamping, writing, and drawing come together to communicate feelings and ideas, either to share with others or to keep to oneself.

Fostering the expression of feeling and ideas through art has been Caryn Patterson’s life work, both in and out of the classroom. Using both found and bought materials, artists will come away from Art Journaling 101 with the beginnings of an altered book and hopefully some inspiration to continue the project on their own.

(Please wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. You will be painting, glueing and getting creatively messy.)

Facilitator: Caryn Patterson is an artist and art teacher who has taught art for 18 years both in St. Louis Public Schools and Meramec Valley in Pacific, Missouri. In addition to teaching in public school, she has worked with churches and for a time reinvented what it meant to be a direct sales representative for a stamp company. Caryn loves to create fiber art, writing, and finds her favorite work in mixed media. These works are on canvas, index cards, and in art journals.

This was a birthday present to a friend, and we both loved the experience! Caryn was very friendly and knowledgeable, ready to help anyone that had a question. She provided tons of art journaling materials, making for a crafty afternoon and leaving me inspired for future projects.
