Learn how to fashion and fill your travel journal for any kind of trip, anywhere in the world!

Join artist, bookbinder, and lifelong traveler Teresa Merriman during her Hemingway House residency with The Community Library for an inspiring introduction to travel journaling. Drawing on more than twenty years of documenting her adventures around the world, Teresa will share her simple, approachable system for turning blank pages into meaningful keepsakes.

Whether you’re traveling a few miles from home or crossing continents, you’ll learn how to collect the memories, stories, scraps, sketches, and meaningful details that often slip away with time and preserve them in a journal you’ll revisit again and again.

No artistic experience is required. You’ll leave with practical ideas, creative inspiration, and a fresh perspective on how a journal can become your favorite souvenir!

Registration is required to join us. If you have them, please bring watercolor supplies, as well as a pencil and an eraser. Watercolor paper will be provided, and extra watercolors will be available for those who don’t have them.
