One In-Person Session
Sat., Apr. 5, 2025, 9 am-12 pm MT

Are you getting ready for a trip and want to capture the special moments and memorable sights in a journal? In this workshop, artist Judith Cassel-Mamet shares with you exactly how to start travel journaling! The course features her five-step approach: from supply considerations to “memory maps” to attaching ephemera you might find along the way. “The goal with travel journaling is to capture the experience in a way that brings back wonderful memories as you return to the journal years after the adventure,” Cassel-Mamet says. While the emphasis is on working with visual elements, Cassel-Mamet also covers ways to incorporate text into your journal. In addition, she shares ways to do quick sketches that capture a view or meal—no need to be an accomplished artist. And even if you’ve already taken a trip and you’re thinking it would be fun to create a personal journal that goes beyond a photo book—you’re in luck! “This workshop is applicable to that situation as well—to help you remember your time,” Cassel-Mamet says. “Many travelers report that keeping a journal adds to the overall experience by offering a reason to slow down and focus on the magical moments.” Please note: Registration covers all materials, except the journal.
