Are you looking to connect with your creative spirit, but unable to commit to a semester-long course? This workshop is for you!

In this 2.5-hour session, experienced instructor Beth Gismondi will guide participants in establishing a sketchbooking habit that only takes a few minutes a day.
She’ll also introduce a monthly challenge with creative prompts and lead an online group where participants can share their work and stay inspired.

It’s the perfect way to jumpstart your sketchbooking journey!
