Documenting Your Day:
A Sketchbook Practice Workshop
Join artist and calligrapher Rachel Diamond Calow for a hands-on exploration of turning everyday moments into meaningful sketchbook pages. Drawing from her practice of documenting experiences developed during a four-month world voyage, Rachel will guide you through the process of transforming photographs and memories into cohesive visual narratives.
This workshop focuses on the editorial choices that elevate travel sketching and daily documentation from mere recording to thoughtful storytelling—learning to observe, distill, and compose your experiences on the page.
