You’ll create a gorgeous handmade art journal designed to hold your goals, hopes, plans and prayers. A journal you open, write in, and come back to everyday.
This is a 2.5-hour, hands-on workshop where you’ll slow down, get focused, and make something beautiful and personal from start to finish while enjoying a mimosa, bloody mary or tea.

Meet Julie
Julie Moyer Swartz is a professional, award-winning artist and podcast host who teaches art classes for both adults and children.
She knows how to break things down, make them approachable, and help people feel confident even if they don’t consider themselves “artsy.”
Her workshops are structured, supportive, and designed so everyone leaves with something they’re proud of.
The Flow
After a brief introduction and grounding conversation, Julie will guide you step by step through creating your handmade art journal.
You’ll work with a curated mix of materials, textures, and techniques to build a journal that feels personal and meaningful that results in something you’ll actually want to use.
