SUMMARY:The Creatives Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Creatives Book Club: Turning Inspiration into Creation! \nDo you have a beautiful stack of art project books that are fantastic for inspiration but rarely make it off the shelf? You’re not alone! We love flipping through the hundreds of projects in every medium imaginable\, but carving out the focused time to actually sit down and complete them often feels impossible. \nWelcome to The Creatives Book Club! This won’t be a traditional book club. Instead of simply reading a book about art and creativity\, we’ll meet once a month to actually do a project from the chosen book. It’s the perfect way to explore new mediums\, hold yourself accountable to your creative practice\, and finally make those beautiful pages come to life! \nWe meet on the last Monday of the month\, from 4-6pm. Bring your chosen art or craft book and the supplies you need to complete your project of choice. \nJoin us for an evening of collective art-making\, mingling\, and shared discovery as we dive into a project from an inspiring book! \nOur Creative Schedule:\n4:00 – 4:20: Set up your Materials & Settle In\n4:20 – 5:30: Art-Making (project of choice from this month’s book)\n5:30 – 5:40: Clean Up\n5:40 – 6:00: Share & Mingle \nReady to trade reading for making? Register to save your seat. \nBeginner Friendly\nNo Fee required

SUMMARY:Intro to Art Journaling
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Kara Ashley Gilmore\nDate: 4/24/2026\nTime: 9 am – 1 pm\nArt League Member: $85\nNon-Member: $95 \nArt journaling isn’t about making a masterpiece to hang in a gallery; it’s about creating a “No-Judgment Zone” where you can breathe\, play\, and get your thoughts out of your head and onto the page. Whether you call it a visual diary\, a messy sketchbook\, or a bullet journal\, this is your space to gain clarity and record the wild\, wonderful bits of your life. \nThe Art Journal as Relationship:\nI’ve been playing in art journals for over 20 years. My art journal is more than just a book; it is a safe container. It is a space designed to hold the weight of our stress\, the chaos of our thoughts\, and the brightness of our joy. Even more\, it becomes a safe relationship. Unlike the world outside\, the page never judges you\, never asks you to be productive\, and never tells you you’re doing it wrong. It is a consistent\, quiet witness that allows you to be exactly who you are\, exactly where you are. In this workshop\, I’ll show you how to build that relationship with your own pages. \nArt Journals can be used to:\n-Process big emotions when words fail\n-Visualise goals that feel too big for a to-do list\n-Connect with your inner child\, and play with messy materials just for the fun of it\n-Document the “now” so you don’t forget the small\, beautiful details of your days \nOur Workshop Outline:\nTo begin\, I’ll guide you through creating your very own custom journal by cutting and folding a single 18×24 sheet of paper. I’ll also share my favorite techniques for creating quick colorful backgrounds to eliminate the “fear of the blank page\,” and for adding layered images\, texture\, text\, and embellishments to your art journal pages. We’ll spend our remaining hours together filling our hand-made art journal pages with our own unique marks. \nEverything is provided. All the paint\, paper\, glue\, and tools you need to complete your art journals are waiting for you. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get a little bit of paint on your hands.
