Library invites teens to express themselves in visual journaling workshop

Join art teacher Melissa Walker for a class of experimentation and artistic exploration using the visual journal as a medium for self-revelation and expression, at 10 a.m. Friday, July 15, at the Asheboro Public Library.

The workshop, open to anyone ages 10 to 18, is free. Registration is required; to register, visit the Asheboro library or call 318-6824.

Instruction and all supplies to get started with journaling will be provided. Each participant will get a journal to take home.

Walker will explore a variety of painting techniques along with collage, wax resist, stencils, stamping and embellishing. Many examples of visual journals and altered books will be available to show technique and for finding inspiration for journal pages.

Handouts, including 100 journal prompts, are included. Start expressing yourself today and let the creativity begin!

The workshop is part of “You Are Here,” the library’s Teen Summer Reading Program. For further information, contact Teen Services Librarian Amy Keith Barney at 318-6824 or akeith@randolphlibrary.org.
