Take a moment to slow down, switch off and reconnect with your creativity in these welcoming art journaling sessions. Introducing Creatively Calm with Cloe – Mindful Art Journaling Join Cloe for relaxed, guided art journaling sessions where you can explore your creativity, try new techniques and enjoy a little time for yourself. Create your own journal, experiment with creative prompts and connect with like-minded people in a welcoming space. Art materials, creative prompts and refreshments are provided, so there's no need to bring anything along or have any previous experience. When: Fortnightly Mondays, 4:30–6:30pm, starting 9th November Where: Durham Wellness Space, Coxhoe, DH6 4DB Cost: £12 per session Have you ever wanted to start journaling but had no idea where to begin? Or admired all those beautiful journal pages on Pinterest and Instagram, bought lots of lovely stationery and then never quite got around to using it? I've kept an art journal for as long as I can remember, and it's something I've always come back to. I love having a space to be creative, reflect and switch off. But I also know how easy it is to put it off, struggle with ideas or find it hard to make time for it. That's why I'm starting this group: to create a friendly space where we can explore art journaling together, try new things and enjoy the process without any pressure. So, what will we get up to? • Learn how to make and personalise your own journal • Try different art journaling techniques and creative activities • Explore prompts to spark ideas and encourage reflection • Experiment with different materials and see what you enjoy • Have a cuppa, a biscuit and a chat along the way You don't need to be particularly arty, and your journal certainly doesn't have to look like the ones you see online! It's about having a go, enjoying the process and finding what works for you. There's also absolutely no pressure to share what you write or create, your journal is your own little space. I'm really looking forward to getting started and sharing this with you. If you fancy trying something a little different, meeting some like-minded people and discovering the joys of art journaling, I'd love for you to come along.
