Affirmation Journal Making Workshop
Saturday, January 14, 2023
11:00 am - 1:00 pm | 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Affirmations are statements of truth. They are often used to encourage and reinforce positive thinking to create positive outcomes.
In this workshop, you will be wrapping a blank journal in an African printed fabric and designing a cover sheet for the inside of your journal. Once the journals are wrapped and finished we will be setting our affirmations for the new year and using our new journals.
** With all of the support and interest in our workshop we have opened a second section of this workshop at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm on Saturday, January 14, 2023.
