Book of Soul
handmade art book
As a creative being, you are intrinsically absorbent, sensitive, and free spirited. This (very) mixed media workshop is the perfect opportunity to slow down, look inward, and connect with the truest part of you: your unique, absolutely one-of-a-kind soul. Through gathering ephemera that deeply expresses your truth and beauty, collaging, stitching, markmaking, and *listening* to Who You Really Are, you will take the plunge deep into a soothing wellspring of life that lives inside you.
Throughout this journey, you'll witness my creative process as I craft a handmade book that expresses my passion for my work as a war historian. Watch as I transform collected ephemera, personal photographs, and fragments of stories into a visual narrative that speaks to the power of human endurance.
Following along with this workshop, you will have a visual book created in your own quiet meditation as you seek, feel, listen within, and express the kaleidoscope of passions and dreams that makes you who you are.
And, you will learn the finest art of all: the art of nourishing your analog soul in a digital world.
