Art Journaling

art class women journal journaling the hive south pasadena highland park eagle rock healing community support collage paint makers connect expression

$40/per person, per class

Art journaling is expressing yourself visually with images and words using collage, paint, and color. It's not about making “pretty" or "perfect". We don't make mistakes -- we have Happy Accidents.

Art journaling is about the process: we're simply expressing ourselves. You won’t leave with a beautiful drawing of a bowl of the countryside or a bowl of fruit. You will, however, walk out relaxed, rejuvenated, and more closely connected to yourself and other strong, supportive women. ​

The community here is nonjudgemental and deeply inspiring. Classes are full of healing, feel-good-ness, and M&M's.

We meet every other Tuesday morning from 10:30-12:30 pm OR there's another session every other Thursday night 7-9:00 pm.

All art supplies supplied. Students are welcome to bring their photos, magazine clippings, snacks, beverages, etc.). We use 9" x 11" hard-bound journals that we also sell for $15, or you can bring your own; size doesn’t matter.

‘Tween + Teen Art Journaling

These classes are where kids make new friends, share roses and thorns with their peers, and build a journal with their {constantly evolving} selves! These are not product based classes, but rather process: no perfection here.

One of the most valuable things about these classes is socialization. We all need to laugh, vent, and get our wiggles out. And, most importantly, it's electronic-free. 

Sundays @ 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm for $30/pp, all art supplies included *except a journal. Guests are welcome to bring their own, or use a free composition notebook, or purchase one for $15 at the studio.
