"You will leave this intensive two-day workshop with a beautiful tape-bound journal filled with colorful hand-painted papers. We will make our own stamps and stencils, explore several methods of monoprinting, create plenty of hand-painted patterns, play with color, make our own decorative tape, design our journal covers, paint in layers, and stitch together a fabulous one-of-a-kind art journal!." — Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
