IN PERSON CLASS
How many times have you told yourself “I’m not an artist, I can’t draw?” And how many times has that prevented you from doing the creative activities that you love and that bring you joy? In this class, I will share my journey to creating my own illustrated journals and show you the journals I never imagined I’d make (and that very few people have ever seen). Then we’ll talk about what makes a journal “illustrated” and different ways to add your own personal drawings and creations to your books. And once we’ve built up the courage, we’re going to give ourselves permission to break through the barriers of “I can’t” and put pen to paper in our own journals so that you can create a space for doing what you love. You will not need to share your work in this class (or to anyone at all if you choose not to), these books are a safe space for you to create whatever you would like and to take a chance to bring your imagination to life on the page.
Supplies to bring:
- A journal or sketchbook
- A waterproof pen or your favorite drawing tool(s)
- Something to add color (watercolors, water-soluble crayons, markers, etc.)
- Any ephemera or collage material you’d like to use (optional)
Some shared supplies will be available for class use.
Classes have a limited space available and some fill quickly. Decisions about whether to cancel a class or add another session are typically made one week prior to the start of a class. If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than 4 registrations) all registrations will be promptly refunded.

Molly Anthony is a writer and mixed-media artist and is also the co-facilitator for the MN Visual Journal Collective (a free monthly group for artists of all mediums hosted by Wet Paint). She loves exploring art in all forms and sharing her ideas with others, but through the pandemic and family struggles she learned the importance of using those practices for self-care. In her work and her teachings, she strives to embrace imperfection, focuses on process over product and is constantly looking for new ways to be curious about the world around her. You can find her artwork on Instagram at @mkranthony and on her website TheFoundArtWalk.com.
