What can we expect in this Art Journaling course?
This is a 6-week beginner’s course that will introduce you to the wonderful world of Art journaling. Each week we will cover a different theme/ technique/ project. We start the session with a 3-minute Mindfulness practice, followed by a few markmaking and warm up exercises. We will discuss the art journaling process and get a clear idea about the project we will be working on each week. You will be guided throughout with clear step-by-step instructions and demonstrations.
I am not artistic– will I be able to do Art Journaling?
Art journaling is for everyone!
I am a complete beginner – will I be able to do Art Journaling?
Our courses are suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced artists. All our classes and workshops are taught by Dr. Sai Banerjee who is an experienced teaching artist and calligrapher. Having taught hundreds of students with varying skill levels, Sai is adept at recognising the challenges that a beginner might face. By following a process-based approach to teaching, Sai simplifies seemingly complex techniques to make it accessible for everyone.
What age group is this workshop suitable for?
Our Art journaling sessions are suitable for adults of all ages (16+).
I have already attended one of your 6 week courses will this be the same?
Our introductory 6-week courses follow the same format every 6 weeks. Once you complete a 6-week course, you can then move on to our weekly Art journaling dropin sessions where we work on individual projects and explore different mediums, themes and techniques. Or you can join one of our weekly Creative sketchbook course, held online on Thursday mornings.
What are your class sizes?
Our class sizes are usually between 12-14 students. However, our numbers may vary depending on the capacity of the venue. As a general guideline our maximum limit is 18 students per session, to ensure everyone gets individual attention.

You may wear comfortable clothing with some layers as the temperature settings at our venue may vary. We will be using a variety of media during the sessions, which can sometimes get a bit messy - so please be mindful of long sleeves and jewellery.

Yes. We take all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students. We sanitise all the tables and chairs before and after the session.

If I am unable to attend the class can I get a refund?
If you wish to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, you need to give us at least 3 weeks notice in order to get a full refund. If it’s less than 3 weeks we recommend that you reschedule and book another session as we run several courses and workshops throughout the year. The venues are paid for and pre-booked so it’s hard for us to find a replacement for a cancelled booking within a short notice.
