Instant Access to Creative Resistance! Watch the Brand New Trailer

This past weekend we recorded the live Creative Resistance online workshop. We created two art journals/sketchbooks, showed how to print your designs on the book cover and how I create collage art pages for future work and art journals.

If you would like to learn how to hand stitch art books, come and take a break and create with me.

While in Milan last summer I was in the most beautiful vintage bookstore. My heart was set on little vintage poetry books in Italian. As I was slowly scanning the spines for the perfect treasure to take home my eyes instantly stopped on a vintage poetry book with a cardboard cover and black stamped words and numbers. I had never seen anything like it. Of course I brought it home with me and I wanted to create our own version together.

Creative Resistance in many ways is the perfect way to prepare our hearts and minds for the new year and to be thoughtful where we choose to turn our gaze and what we give our attention.

Using found cardboard, your favorite papers, waxed thread and needle and copies of your own art, we will stitch two different books together. I will also show how I create collage papers for my work and also book pages. You can use the inspiration of the custom cover I created or you can create your own.

Techniques Taught:

How to create an art journal out of cardboard and paperHow to create a custom journal cover

How to create paper signatures and stitch them into your book spine

How to use copies of your art to create collage backgrounds and papers in your journal

How to transfer designed images onto your book cover
