Beginner Level

Overview

We all have stories to tell, memories to cherish, often these get lost with time as we go through this very busy and fast life. We also are visual creatures (or at least some of us are). We respond better to pictures often more than words. If you are one of those people and would love to record your daily life, then visual journaling workshop is the right one for you. This workshop is introductory level and will get you started with the basics.
