Art Journaling: A Creative Practice for Reflection & Play

Slow down, unplug, and spend a few inspiring hours creating in the welcoming atmosphere of Foothills Art Association. This hands-on art journaling class blends self-care with creative exploration, offering a relaxed and supportive space to experiment, reflect, and make art just for yourself.

Participants will explore a variety of art journaling approaches, including bullet journaling, collage, expressive painting, guided writing prompts, and junk journal techniques. You’ll learn how to combine words and imagery in ways that feel intuitive and personal—no rules, no pressure, and no previous art experience required.

Whether you’re new to journaling or already keep a creative journal, this class is designed to spark inspiration, encourage mindfulness, and build confidence in your creative voice. Come as you are, meet fellow creatives from the community, and leave with new techniques you can continue using long after the class ends.

All levels welcome. Many supplies are included.

Just bring your curiosity and a sketchbook—and enjoy the experience of creating together, in person, surrounded by art.
