Make a Pocket Sketch Journal & Get Started Filling It with Judith Dollar

Friday, May 29

TIME: 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

LOCATION: Symposium Classroom

Join us for this fun, hands-on creative workshop where you’ll craft your own custom pocket journal AND learn how to fill it with sketches and journaling to capture memories, and moments that matter. Once filled, your pocket-journal transforms into a quirky visual diary that captures your personality and experiences.

What You’ll Make:

Starting with just one piece of premium paper, you’ll fold and create a clever pocket-journal that’s both pocket-sized and features pockets inside and out—perfect for tucking away tickets, notes, and treasured ephemera. You’ll then add a Z-fold insert for extra creative space. After crafting your journal, Judith will provide a brief introduction to Urban Sketching, sharing creative techniques and approachable methods for filling your pages—even if you’re a complete beginner! You’ll discover how to capture your experiences, observations, and everyday moments in ways that feel natural and enjoyable.
