Love (like deeply love) mixed media art, experimenting with different textures, and playing with layers until you land on something that makes you drool (What? Just me?)
The BB Art Journals Masterclass
Confidently and intuitively create a mixed media art journal that feels like you
During this 14-week guided art journaling class experience, you’ll learn to make an art journal from start to finish using a variety of mixed media techniques you can return to again and again — and have fun doing it.
You have a vision of the artist you want to be in your head, but no idea how you can get there.
Or if you even can...
Between getting yourself to actually pick up your supplies, trying to decide what to work on (and then actually finish it), feeling scattered by your wide variety of interests, doubting your abilities as an artist, and wondering when the whole “enjoy yourself” thing is going to finally come in…
Art isn’t bringing you the joy you hoped it would — or maybe the joy it once did.
At one point, creating was playing — with zero concern about performance or perfection.
Even if that was you, at two years old, stacking blocks on top of each other.
Or you, at four years old, drawing in the mud.
Because you were made to create.
And that version of you?
Who doesn't care what the end product looks like, would never dream of comparing her art to someone else’s, who has no inner critic to silence or rules to follow…
She’s in there. And it’s time for her to come home.
You're invited to join the 2026 cohort of...
The BB Art Journals Masterclass Experience
A guided 14-week art journaling class experience that helps both beginners and seasoned mixed media artists learn to build and trust their own creative intuition, silence their inner critic, and create a one-of-a-kind, texture-rich art journal.
The 2026 doors open August 6th, so...
Past BB Art Journals Masterclass students are raving
“This is the first time I’ve taken a class that set my creativity on fire with the knowledge of how to integrate everything I’ve learned in a way that makes it uniquely mine.”
- Michelle M.
"BB has made me believe that I really can create pieces that make me feel I am a real artist and not someone who just wishes she was."
- Susie H.
“BB provided a space to explore creativity without judgment, and a community that shared and supported. Her class helped to push past fear and embrace creative joy.”
- Jane M.
Here's what our 14 weeks together will look like
You can’t create if you’re overwhelmed — that’s why I’ve made it so easy to stay on track with your art journal and make progress every week. The masterclass content will become available as we move through the following sections:
Weeks 1-3
Section 1: Prework
The first weeks of our art journal class experience is spent setting ourselves up for success. We’ll discuss supplies, including how to use what you already have and how to pull from your past interests and hobbies, as well as experiment with different color palettes and prep our materials.
Weeks 4-8
Section 2: Play
During this phase, we’ll work together to create all of the pieces that will make up your journal as we explore fabric dyeing, paper play, and stitching.
We’ll spend these four weeks loosening up, exploring, and having fun. We’ll make space to tune into our artistic intuition and learn new techniques — knowing that it’s okay if not everything turns out the way we expected. We’ll do a lot of asking ourselves “what if…?” and then playing until we find out.
Week 9-12
Section 3: Construct
With our pieces created, it’s time to put them all together. During this phase of the art journal class experience, we’ll play with different compositions, collage techniques, some intuitive stitching, and adding in interactive elements like pockets and envelopes. At the end of this phase, you’ll have one truly cohesive project you’re proud of.
Finally, we’ll bind the journal (which is, as I always say, the least interesting part — but of course, it still needs to happen!) and then prep for the final stretch.
Weeks 13-14
Section 4: Embellish
Can you believe it?! You have a journal! Now it’s time to embellish it and add in all those final drool-worthy touches and details.
We’ll experiment with things like fabric-covered buttons, thread baubles, fabric beads, and embellished paper clips before we (literally) wrap it up by playing around with different closure styles.
This experience is only offered once a year

Meet your art journal guide
Hi! I'm BB — and I’m here to help you enjoy the creative journey.
While you are absolutely going to learn new artistic techniques during our 12 weeks together, we’re not just going to talk stitching and collaging and book binding in this art journal class experience.
Because there’s so much more to making art than that.
I’ve lived the artistic burnout, the pressure to fit the mold, the desire to get it all right, and I bet you have too.
Eventually, after a lot of exploring and experimenting (and therapy), I found my way back to an art practice that felt good. One where rules didn’t exist, the process was the point, and the end product was just a delightful bonus.
I learned to create art journals that reflected the messy, layered, beautiful reality of what it means to be human.
That’s what this experience is built on — and that’s what I’d love to help you build too.
“BB is a gifted teacher and a purely authentic person who brings her whole self into the uplifting community she nurtures.”
“Her genuine and encouraging feedback embraces wherever you are in your artistic journey while at the same time gently nudging you forward to experiment and step out of any artificial boxes you've created for yourself.
She has a way of giving ‘permission’ to explore both new and familiar techniques with freedom from any need for perfection, which is the richest soil for growth regardless of what you're trying to learn.”
- Sherry W., PAST BB ART JOURNALS MASTERCLASS STUDENT
Featured As A Guest Artist In
This is the class I wished existed when I started out— so I built it.
Everything I could find focused on one medium or one technique, and that’s just not how my brain operates. (And I have a feeling yours doesn’t like that either…)
I wanted to create a place for ALL of my interests — and every technique in my toolbox — and combine them together in one cohesive experience for the “don’t put me in a box” creatives out there.
So in this class, we'll play with...
see what I mean?
"If I could go back to the beginning of my mixed media journey knowing what I know now, this truly could be the only class I would need to create beautiful journals — there is absolutely nothing held back."
"This is the most comprehensive class I have ever taken. I’ve taken many classes over the years, but this is the first time I’ve taken a class that set my creativity on fire with the knowledge of how to integrate everything I’ve learned in a way that makes it uniquely mine.
I also learned how to use supplies that I’ve bought but never touched. BB generously shared every tiny detail of her process in composing every part of her journals. I can’t recommend this enough!"
- Michelle M., PAST BB ART JOURNALS MASTERCLASS STUDENT
Most online courses leave you feeling alone and overwhelmed — but not this one.
The BB Art Journals Masterclass gives you the best of online *and* in-person learning.While you get to learn wherever you are in the world and do things on your own schedule, you also get the kind of support you typically only see when you do set foot in an art classroom.
I'm talking support like:
Personalized Feedback
If you want 1:1 feedback on your art, you normally have to sign up for a high-priced mentorship — but in the masterclass, you have multiple chances to hear directly from me about your art.
Ongoing Interaction
You're never alone on your journey — we spend more than 20 hours together on live calls during these 12 weeks! This live component is so rare in the online space, and so important.
Collaborative Creativity
From office hours to our live playdates to the community forum, I’m here with you and your fellow artists every step of the way to spark inspiration and help you get unstuck.
Supportive Community
Join a positive, encouraging community where both your teacher and peers cheer you on. Chat in the forum, talk with your fellow artists on our live calls, and build new connections!
WANT TO HEAR FROM PAST STUDENTS?
Watch these interviews and find out what they loved most about the BB Art Journals Masterclass experience
Grow your art practice with direct, personalized feedback
Get tailored guidance so you can learn the whys behind the whats and take your art beyond surface level.
I’m not going to leave you to figure things out on your own. In addition to our live office hours and playdates where I’ll answer questions and provide in-the-moment feedback, you can also add on a personalized feedback mock-up when you join the masterclass.
No more figuring it all out on your own — you’ll have me in your corner with specific, supportive feedback on what’s working well and inspiration for what to try next.
Add on your mock-up for $15 at checkout, or for $25 once the masterclass starts.
Past masterclass students have loved this level of support and often tell methey’ve never experienced anything like it in an online class.
“I have never attended a class with such personal and helpful feedback!”
- Patter C.
“I really appreciated the personalized feedback for the cover layout and stitching suggestions.”
- Julie M.
“The individual feedback is awesome, something I have not experienced before.”
- Patricia B.
I made the BB Art Journals Masterclass for you if you...
Are on the beginner-end of the spectrum, but while you might not have the techniques, you have the desire to dig deep and use your creativity
Are either very familiar with Blank Page Paralysis or the Next Step Shutdown — where you either can’t start or can’t choose what’s next
Have taken other art classes before, but haven’t been able to discover your own signature style or artistic voice
Want to go deeper than techniques and talk about the internal experience of being an artist who deals with perfectionism, overwhelm, and comparison
But this is probably not the right fit for you if you...
Want a “paint and sip”-type experience that’ll give you an exact replica of the instructor’s work
Are looking for a quick, surface-level project or a fast result without needing to get into the creative weeds
Don’t want to make your OWN decisions about how your art should look or feel
Have no interest in working with tactile materials like fabric, paper, stitching, and layered elements
Are unwilling to let the process get a little uncomfortable as you try new things, confront your inner critic, and move through perfectionism
“This is no carbon copy class where everyone creates an identical item.”
“The Art Journal BB Masterclass was amazing! No matter what skill level everyone made such a fabulous journal that was so unique to their personality. Everyone's journal is unique and incredible. I learned so much - the community was so helpful and so much was shared. I can't say enough positive things about this class!”
- Amee W., PAST BB ART JOURNALS MASTERCLASS STUDENT
Your Artistic Journey
From your first stitched page to a complete journal that feels like you — and the confidence that comes with it
I’ve watched this art journal journey unfold for hundreds of artists over the years, and I know it can happen for you, too. This is what’s possible during your 12 weeks inside this art journal class experience:
Start Creating With Confidence
The first sparks that get you hooked
Typically weeks 1-3
You've stopped overthinking and finally sit down to make something — and it feels good
You find yourself re-energized by color, texture, and play (zero pressure, just art joy)
You've tried something new — like hand-stitching or dyeing fabric — and surprised yourself
You've realized you don’t need fancy supplies — just a few key tools, some guidance, and your own creative problem solving
You joined your first Zoom call with the group and felt excited and welcomed (even if your camera stayed off the whole time)
Build Skills & See Progress
The “wow, I’m really doing this” stage
Typically weeks 4-8
You've started to see a style emerge, and it's not anyone else's — it's all yours
You feel more confident making creative decisions without paralysis or second-guessing
You’ve got a growing stash of beautiful collage papers, stitched pages, and layered textures
You're now using what you’ve learned in other projects — you're seeing this isn't just a journal, it's a toolkit
You've started to look forward to creating again — and not to see what you make, but to the act of making it
Create Art That Feels Like You
The mindset shifts that stick
Typically weeks 9-14 & beyond
You now see yourself as an artist — full stop
You've completed a BB journal (or you keep building!) and feel genuinely proud of your work
You've developed a creative process that’s yours—and you know how to return to it again and again
You’re part of a supportive, like-minded community that makes creating feel less lonely
You fully trust your artistic intuition, and your ability to finally stop chasing perfection in art has trickled into your everyday life as well
“Okay, but BB, I’m not so sure about the price tag…”
Neither was Sherry!
But here’s what she said after she joined:
“As far as value for the dollar, there's really no way to put a price on what I am taking away from this course and this community.
I will say that the superb quality and sheer amount of learning videos she includes in the course gave me confidence from the very start that I had made a fabulous investment in my growth as an artist.
Additionally, BB is so responsive to the needs of her students and so generous with her skill as a teacher, she is continually adding valuable content throughout the journey and offers such helpful feedback whether in the forum or on one of our live calls.
The whole Masterclass experience has been a gift and I'm looking forward to whatever BB has coming next.”
“The way BB is there for her students during the 12 weeks is something I've never experienced on any other course.“
“If you have any questions or need help, she is there to support you immediately. And the content is very wide ranging. There is something for both beginners and advanced students. I've learned a lot and I'm glad I joined this course.”
- Vera W., PAST BB ART JOURNALS MASTERCLASS STUDENT
This isn’t another art course you’ll buy and never look at again.
This is a journey that will continue far beyond our 14 weeks together.
The skills you gain and the mindset you develop will stay with you for life — as will the masterclass content. With your lifetime access, it will always be here for you to return to as you continue your creative journey.
THE BB ART JOURNALS MASTERCLASS ALUMNI HAVE SPOKEN:
100% of past students who actively participated in the program had ONLY positive feedback
That’s beginners, seasoned artists, and everyone in between! And I’d say that's a pretty good guarantee that you’ll have a great experience, too.
OKAY, BUT BB, HEAR ME OUT…
Am I really enough of an “artist” to do this?
I so get this fear because I’ve had it myself, and so have many other artists who have come through the BB Art Journals Masterclass.
So trust me when I say that you are.
Previous students have gone through the 14 weeks with ALL different skill levels. Many had never picked up a needle + thread, and now they are confident with intuitive stitching. Many had never even played with paint, and now can't stop picking up their paintbrush.
The truth is that your mindset and determination are more important than the skills you join with.
If you are looking to create more freely, build your artistic intuition (and follow it), and learn new techniques and methods along the way — this IS for you.
AND HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT THEY’VE CREATED!

This is your only chance this year to join the BB Art Journals Masterclass.
It’s time to stop waiting to “get it right” and just start.
Start creating. Start experimenting. Start believing in yourself. Start listening to your inner artist. Start trusting your intuition. Start finding joy in the process.
After guiding over 30,000 students, I’m still endlessly in awe of what happens when you say yes to your inner artist and start.
I would love nothing more than to walk alongside you as you begin this journey and learn to create something new in our 2026 masterclass cohort.
