Time: 10 am- 3 pm

Ailie is a renowned Textile Artist, having exhibited her work and taught in many places around the world. She is passionate about making creative journals and loves sharing her techniques and tips on how she makes them. The journals can be made as a special memento for a loved one or a gift to honour a special occasion.

Join me for a playful and inspiring dive into the colourful world of collage and creative journaling.

We’ll explore fun and easy ways to bring colour, imagery, and words onto the page — no experience needed, just a sense of curiosity. Paper collage, combined with a little paint and other mark-making tools, is a very simple and lighthearted intro to the world of imagination. You’ll be amazed at what you can create with just a few old magazines, scrap paper, and some coloured pens or pencils.

I’ve recently re-discovered how much fun this can be, and I’ve been happily carried away making lots of collages — and gathering even more bits and pieces to play with. I’ll be bringing plenty of materials to share, along with some handy tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way.

If you're keen, this can also lead into simple journaling — I’ll bring my journal along to show you, and I can explain how to make a basic book structure. Or feel free to bring along any notebook you already have.  (Hand-made collages also make great greeting cards.)

Guaranteed fun, plenty of creative ideas, and lots of laughter — come along and play!
