Ladies Night Out Art Journals and Altered Books

Introduction and Construction

4th Wednesday – April 24th, May 22nd, and June 19th

Join Jennifer Tritle at the London Art Center for a creative night of friends and fun.

Jennifer is a creative soul with a love for beautiful things.  After a satisfying career as a therapist serving victims of sexual abuse and teaching psychology courses to college students, she had the privilege and pleasure of delving deeper into the fine arts.  Years of card-making and scrapbooking led her into the unique world of mixed media art. Jennifer’s mixed media talents include art journaling, collage and assemblage word, altered books, junk journals, smash books, and paper-crafting. Her artwork and written articles have been published in several art trade journals.  She loves sharing her art with others in hopes of inspiring them to find their art in their lives.

The class will assemble over three dates (one per month), as participants will build a journal or altered book from scratch and proceed each month to decorate it, populate it, and build more, as time permits.  Supplies will be provided all three nights.

This is an adult only party.

Date: 4/24, 5/22, 6/19
