On January 1, 2011, Strathmore launched its new Visual Journal Online Workshops, attracting over 5,600 students. “The response has been overwhelming!” says Jeanette Gile, workshop organizer. And it hasn’t stopped growing. “We literally have students from all over the world participating in the workshops right now.”
“The class has been extremely active,” continues Gile. “Students are sharing the results of the lessons, exchanging product and technique tips, and building new friendships.” Students learn visual journaling techniques from experienced artists through online videos and downloadable instructions. They participate in online discussions and share their journal pages in the photo gallery. The workshops are free, self-paced and will continue through August 1, 2011.
Now you can share in the excitement by promoting visual journaling in your store. It’s a great way to keep your store a destination for artist inspiration while you enjoy the rewards of increased store traffic and add-on sales of visual journals and other art materials.
