WOW, we have such a generous community in the Art Journaling world, it seems I have been posting mostly about free workshops and giveaways recently!

I’m delighted to share another free treat with you today. L.K. Ludwig is offering an online workshop in creating and binding a journal from free materials. See what she says about the class -

This project combines several techniques from my fourth book, Creative Wildfire. Examples of the book and the flaps can be see on pages 6, 30, 46, and 47. The page painting technique can be found beginning on page 32, and the binding technique can be found beginning on page 20.

I want to stress that YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED THE BOOK to take class, get the most out of the class, understand the class, or enjoy the class. I have all the techniques videotaped for you. If you do have the book, you may find making notes in the book margins helpful for future reference.

So head on over to Lori’s blog and join in…

Kate Crane has produced two DVD’s on Art Journaling available from Traplet Publications

From Kate’s blog -

DVD 1 – ‘Art Journaling – Right from a blank page’ – you see me discussing colour theory, demonstrating equipment, and then preparing several backgrounds in my journal in real time. Because this is in real time it means that you can play along at home, and then rewind and play along as many times as you want to! I show you several different ways to make backgrounds including finger painting (my fave!), blending colours with a brush, scraping colour with a credit card, and spraying with ink sprays. You know how much I love colour and layers? Well, it’s all here in this DVD.

In DVD 2 – ‘Art Journaling – There are no mistakes in Art’ – I complete the pages that I prepared in DVD 1, again all in real time. I show you how to look for images on the internet, ideas for placing them on the page, how to use stamped images on your pages, and lots more!! I feature lots of fabulous collage artists and stamp manufacturers including Stampotique, Tumblefish Studios, Crowabout Studio B, Itkupilli, Rian Designs, Lisa’s Altered Arts amongst others (links to all of these can be found in my sidebar). You see me painting with Dylusions, Golden Fluid Acrylics, and spraying with Dylusions ink sprays and Adirondack colorwash. You even see me journaling on the pages Lots of ideas for journaling and all my background secrets revealed!!

You can buy DVD1 and DVD 2 singly, or as a box set.
