Build Your Own Magical Journal In This Guided Class!
This fantastic book form is so much fun as it is very adaptable and easy to make and can be used as a sketchbook, journal or artist book.
It's the perfect way to record the changing of the seasons, to celebrate warmth and wellbeing and mindfully collect and record.
Includes Step-By-Step Instructions and Tips & Tricks
You will learn how it can be made in two easy ways; a finished book or built in lots of little sections which can slowly grow!
Add pockets, fold out pages, and mini books inside it. Once you've made one you won't be able to stop and it's so easy to change the size, shape, contents and covers that the possibilities are endless and lots of fun!

“Lucia! I cannot thank you enough for re-lighting my creative mojo and letting me be wonky...It has been a complete revelation. You have the most amazing ability to draw (literally) the madness out of people and allow them to embrace it! I feel like I have found my people!”
Alma
I still can't believe I made this! You make everything so simple and achievable. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. I couldn't sleep without finishing it! Sending loads of love your way!
Lucia Leyfield
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful...a nostalgic, moving and profound ...a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Her journals and sketchbooks, which record life as it happens, conversations, inspirations and experiments, have become works of art in their own right. Many of Lucia's sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches.
She is inspired by a diverse range of things: the old, rusty and wonky, worn architectural patinas, ancient diagrams, aged buildings, old books and ephemera, explorers' sketchbooks and vintage field guides.
