Session 1 of a 3-part series will be held at the Spoon River Community Outreach Center. Anyone can create a sketchbook journal. It can be filled with notes and sketches from a vacation or from ordinary days. It can be doodles, garden flower sketches, or a place to try out new art supplies. You can fill it with poetry or impressions of the day. Since it’s your journal you can use it any way you want to. Session One will be an introduction to sketchbook journaling and will include examples of sketchbooks, various methods of creating a journal, online resources, discussion of supplies, and time for questions and answers.

Bring a notebook and pencil or pen.

Participants will learn to lay out colorful wool to create a five to six inch felted bowl with embellishments.
