Introducing Altered Journaling: A Creative Practice Club

Beginning February 26, join us for a monthly, guided altered journaling session at PAAL. Each gathering begins with a shared prompt and simple techniques, followed by time to experiment in your journal, cutting, layering, drawing, painting, writing, or responding however the page leads you.

Bring the journal you created in our bookbinding class or bring one you already have.

This is a supportive, judgment-free space to slow down, reflect, and create together. No pressure! Just curiosity, community, and time to make.

This course is designed to get participants immersed in foundational drawing techniques and skills, whether as beginners, as a refresher, or as conditioning for tenured illustrators.
