A journalist is one who keeps a journal.
This is a series of journaling workshops that Michael Scherotter is leading out of Mystic Mill Valley to give anyone the tools that they need to create rich artistic journals to accompany them on their travels near and afar. After 35 years of filling journalist with artwork, Michael has started to teach his techniques to people who are looking to up their journaling craft.
