Walnut Creek, California 94596 - Introduction: Evening Workshop with Yoli Manzo
Embrace Your Inner Frida with Color, Creativity & Collage!
Join us for a vibrant, hands-on workshop where we'll transform everyday junk mail, envelopes, and decorative papers into a stunning Frida-Kahlo-inspired art journal! Using ephemera, bold colors, and iconic Frida imagery, we'll create unique pages filled with texture, layers, and personal expression.
You'll learn how to:
- Craft a simple handmade journal using recycled materials
- Create interactive elements like pockets, fold-out pages, and secret tuck spots
- Collage with Frida-inspired elements, florals, and vintage textures
- Infuse your journal with quotes and personal storytelling
No experience needed—just bring your creativity and love for all things Frida! By the end of class, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind art journal ready for sketches, affirmations, or future creative adventures.
Includes margaritas, beer, and snacks!
