Summer Journal lab - August 16, 2026, 1:00pm - 3:00pm

This is a monthly in-person event at Canal Quarter Arts in Fredericksburg, VA. Journal Labs are held once a month on designated dates listed below.

New to mixed media? Journaling? Want to try out some products before buying? Are you already journaling? Bring your journal projects, start a new one, or come and create in good company. 

Journal Lab is an open studio experience where you will have access to a variety of papers, tools, and creative supplies, along with guidance and inspiration whenever you need it. Each month will have a focus where I show you technique(s) and ways to incorporate those techniques into your journals. Whether you are making your first journal or adding to one already in progress, you'll have the time, space, and support to let your ideas unfold at your own pace. 

This month's focus for August is SIGNATURES, the folded groups of pages that form the heart of a handmade journal. Learn how to create, arrange, and customize signatures while exploring different papers and creative techniques. 

 Pre-registration is required and non-refundable. The 2026 dates are as follows:

Sunday, Aug 16, 1:00pm - 3:00pm - Journal Lab with a focus on Signatures

Each workshop is $35 per person/per workshop

ALL SUPPLIES ARE INCLUDED - if, however, you are working on something and wish to bring your own, please feel free.

Please dress for "messy" and bring a beverage to hydrate while you are creating. 

Great for BEGINNERS, or those wishing to get some creative time in a warm, inviting space with like-minded people. This workspace is kind, respectful, and full of encouragement. Everyone has a seat at our art table!
