A fabulous (workshop) day

March 14, 2016 By Marit 9 Comments

Saturday morning, half past nine and six ladies come smiling through the door of the workshop-space… all ready for a creative day! I am waiting with coffee and cookies. Most of the ladies know me and each other from former workshops and there’s a lot of hugs, talking and laughter. After coffee, we go upstairs where the action is.

This workshop is about altering old books. There’s a whole bunch of old books on the table and each participant chooses a book to her liking. First thing to do is to demolish the books… tear out pages, break spines and prepare it for art journaling. The table looks pretty neat still…

I show the ladies how they can use the underlaying pages as a starting point and inspiration to work on…

… and this is where it gets good!

After a great lunch (in a nearby restaurant) the ladies go loose….

Look at all the smiles at the end of the day, and the beautiful pages each student created!

Thanks for the wonderful day Monique, Melouise, Marie, Pauline, Karen and Sandra!
