These journals are a comfortable 1/2 way between artists' books and simple/plain journals. The embellishment and variety of pages make them ripe for art journalling without fear of the white page. The pamphlet stitch allows us to add multiple signatures one at a time. Easy stitching! We will design pages, embellish them, and then arrange and stitch the signatures to a heavy paper cover. Then cycle back to working in the finished book.
You're welcome to bring your own tool kit, but we'll be supplying everything you need. Just come with enthusiasm and curiosity!

I am interested in making mixed media and found object works that bring disparate materials into a balanced form. A little visual peace.Before this time of great freedom—I was a land surveyor, ran a landscape design and installation company, taught high school botany, and worked in several capacities at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center including creating their current landscape design.
My education has been life long and continuing. Highlights include Biology – Botany emphasis, UW Milwaukee; Secondary Education, Lakeland University; and Special Projects (starting a charter school) Masters, National Lewis University and Harvard Project Zero.
Now I own and operate the Two Fish Gallery with my husband Patrick Robison and spend as much time as possible with my grand daughter in the studio, garden and greenhouse.
