Artistic Journaling - For Mental Wellbeing
Artistic Journaling – for Mental Wellness
6 Week Creative Course
This gentle and nurturing 6-week creative journaling course is designed to support your mental wellness through art, reflection and self-expression.
Using collage and mixed media, you’ll create a personal journal that becomes a safe space for creativity, calm and connection with yourself.
Each student receives their own A5 journal to keep and bring along each week, building a meaningful body of work as the course progresses.
About the Course
This course focuses on artistic journaling using collage, paint and mixed media techniques.
Each week is guided by a light, self-reflective creative prompt, sent by email on the Friday before the class. This gives you time to gently reflect, gather ideas or inspiration if you wish — though everything is completely optional and pressure-free.
You’ll explore:
Collage layering and composition
Mixed media techniques
Creative expression for relaxation and wellbeing
Using art as a tool for reflection and self-care
There is no right or wrong outcome — the emphasis is on process, not perfection.

Your own A5 art journal to keep
