Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday we will have Open Art Journaling inside Huntsville Art Supplies on the 2nd floor of Lowe Mill A&E. Bring your journal and use Studio 127 supplies. Our host and owner of HAS, Stephanie, has a little coffee bar – or try something from Dragon’s Forge just down the hall. I still offer the 10 pack for Open Art Journaling(opens in new tab), and if you have a balance on your card, you can use it like normal.
To get to Huntsville Art Supplies, park in the Smokestack Parking lot, and go to door 16. It is the first studio on the left.

Watercolor Class - Flowers for Beginners
2026-09-10 09:00 - 11:00
This is a two-hour introductory class for painting a simple flower in watercolors. Get to know the characteristics of this type of paint, how to get started, and of course we’ll have plenty of painting time. No experience is needed, and all materials are supplied.

Vintage Vibes - A Junk Journal
2026-09-11 10:00 - 12:00
We’ll make a junk journal using vintage papers, coffee stained papers, and ephemera. I’ll have a good supply of unique materials to give your pages that charming, timeworn look. This workshop is 2.5 hours long so we’ll have time for painting and layering onto the pages once the book is made. You are welcome to bring any old papers you would like to include in your journal as well. This is a great class for any level of experience! What better place to have this class than Dogwood and Magnolia, nestled in quaint Mooresville.

"The Artist's Way" Art Journal Course
2026-09-26 09:00 - 12:00
Art Journal your way through “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron

The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron is more than a book; it’s a life changer. This course – it’s an experience not just a class – is an agent of creative awakening! We will meet for 3 hours on Saturday and dive into this classic!
You will get:

A copy of the book (if you purchase that option)
A fresh new art journal
A lovely lined writing journal for your Morning Pages
A smooth writing gel pen
A large Creativity Bundle to take with you
Art Journal Primer

We start with an overview of the book and how art journaling can be used to work through it. Then jump right into some techniques to get you started with the art part of journaling, and spend time creating. You can then work on the book at your own pace. This is one of the most requested classes I teach, and it’s been a little bit since I offered it. Now seems like a great time to dive into this journey!

REVIEWS
I absolutely loved the Art Journaling through the Artist’s Way course at Studio 127! There was so much to explore through the book that I actually took it twice. Monica is a gem and the open studio sessions are always inclusive and fun. I have enjoyed meeting some wonderful ladies and am grateful for the sense of community in the studio. The Artist’s Way is a revelation and not just for artists. Anyone who wants to explore their creativity will benefit from the class. I cannot recommend this course enough! – Beth

In her course on Art Journaling through the Artist’s Way, Monica Yother introduced me to a whole new world of creativity and self-discovery. She is a gentle, empathetic teacher, who introduces techniques with practical, easy-to-follow demonstrations. I came to her class with only a tiny notion of what art journaling could be, but in the year since I took her course, I have continued to do my “morning pages” and give myself “artist’s dates.” I credit Monica with helping me learn this new practice that can feed my creative soul every day. This is not a “paint-by-number” class where everyone follows a formula to turn out the same product in the style of the teacher. Monica, even as she journals alongside her students, encourages everyone to explore and find what works for them! – Susan

Art Journaling Your Life Story/Accordian Book of Gratitude
2026-10-10 09:00 - 16:00
We’ll start an Art Journal for your life story in the morning, then create an Accordion Book of Gratitude in the afternoon. Do one or both!

Join us on Saturday, October 10 at the Kennedy Douglas Center for the Arts in Florence for an incredibly creative day.
This retreat is actually two workshops: one in the morning and one if the afternoon. Do one or both, whatever your schedule allows!
TELL YOUR LIFE STORY ART JOURNAL: 9:00am – 12:00pm
This class will get your started on a rewarding and creative journey that you can share.
It’s not a scrap book, and it’s not an auto-biography…it’s something much more interesting! Art Journaling your life story is a wonderful way to record those meaningful moments in your life that goes way beyond a snapshot or just fact recording. You can creatively capture the emotion or meaning using collage. Not only will you have a fascinating book your family will love, but you’ll enjoy the process of creating it.
This course is perfect for beginners or those who are already journaling but would like guidance on the theme, “Your Life Story.” We’ll spend the class time learning some quick techniques to help you jump in and start creating pages you will love.
ACCORDION BOOK OF GRATITUDE: 1:30pm – 4:00pm
Create beautiful colored backgrounds in your accordion book, and layer with words and images to celebrate what you are thankful for. The joy is in the making of this thoughtful little book which you can keep or give as a beautiful gift. All materials are supplied, and no experience is needed.
If you want to hang out and do the whole day, purchase the FULL DAY ticket options, with or without lunch.
