Explore collage journaling as a creative and contemplative practice! In this hands-on workshop with Michael Sjostedt of Cut Loose Collage Workshops, you’ll layer images, textures, and words to create visually rich journal pages that reflect your thoughts, moods, and inspirations. Whether you're looking to spark creativity, unwind, or develop a daily artistic ritual, this session offers a relaxed, stress-free space to experiment and explore. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and enjoy the process!

About the presenter:

I’m Michael Sjostedt, and I help people have fun. Seriously!

Through my Cut Loose Collage Workshops, I bring together creativity, wellness, and community in meaningful ways. I guide participants through engaging design exercises that encourage them to explore new techniques, challenge unhelpful inner narratives, and embrace creative experiments. It’s incredibly rewarding to see people shift from feeling stressed or unsure to deeply engaged, reflective, and inspired.

I work with a variety of groups and organizations—libraries, senior communities, employee resource groups, and schools, including wellness and after-school programs—to create art-making experiences that inspire connection, self-expression, and personal growth.
