Keeper of Curiosities

Create a sacred artist book to explore, experiment, and archive your ideas. Build confidence and tell your creative story.

The Keeper of Curiosities is more than a sketchbook or art journal; it is an archive of your sacred ideas and inspiration—a true collaboration of your head, heart, and hands. A profoundly personal artist book where you can be curious, experiment, play, and practice without focusing on the outcome.

Imagine the feeling of freedom in finally exploring all the beautiful ideas that are swelling inside you as you set them free onto the pages of your one-of-a-kind artist's book. You will find yourself returning to this book repeatedly to be reminded of the importance of the creativity that flows through you. When you choose to play, practice, and experiment, you release doubts and gain confidence in the art you want to create.

The lessons in this class will prompt you and ignite your heart. Set free your stories, ideas, and truths of who you are as a person and an artist. Feel free to get messy, paint, scribble, draw, collage, and stitch everything you're curious about on every page.

Join the talented Renee Mueller for this beautiful creative experience where you're the author of your artistic story.

  • Old Book - I look at local thrift shops and on Etsy for great deals on used books. Look for a cover that appeals to your creative sensibilities.
  • Unprimed Canvas or drop cloth.
  • An assortment of fabrics, ribbons, and other textiles.
  • *Arches Oil Paper (9x12) Note: In addition to oil paint, this paper is wonderful for all mediums, my favorite paper! Feel free to substitute with watercolor paper or mixed media paper.
