Raevn’s Nest Art Retreat : Jill Berry Blog

Look what I found! A historical photo of a young artist in Cedarburg, Wisconsin who is clutching a journal just like the one from the class I am teaching! It is called In-Site Journaling and it involves lots of surface techniques and learning a bit about the town of Cedarburg. This is one of the classes I am teaching at a new event called Raevn’s Nest Art Retreat put on by my friend, fellow artist, and author, Kim Rae Nugent(her book, Interactive Art Workshop a book of movable artwork, is coming out next month and I am honored to be one of the contributing artists). The retreat is impressive but small, and will give us all a chance to bond in an arty way.

In-Site Journaling is one of my favorite ways of working. I love learning new ways of visually journaling while simultaneously learning about where I am, both physically and mentally, at a given moment in time. So, we will use vintage photos of Cedarburg, drawing, rubbings, maps and lots of other elements in this journal.
