We will create our own bullet journal templates including the four main collections, explore rapid logging, our own key and index sections and if we have time, delve into the more fun custom collections!

6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Registration Cost $25
Materials Fee $10
The materials fee will cover the price of the journals (which the students will take with them) and the art guild will supply the materials needed for writing in the journals during the class.
