Secret powers numbers 1 and 2: Jo describes how sketchbooks can be a door into a hidden world, and a place to explore what you feel like as a person.
Secret power number 2: Sketchbooks can be a weapon; a weapon you can use to fight boredom, ease anxiety, and find gratitude.
Secret power numbers 4: Sketchbooks can be a laboratory – a safe place to experiment, test and discover.

Thank you Jo!
That was so inspiring; I’ve had a sketch bok in my drawer for years and not made time to use it..
You’ve made me want to pick it up again,
warmest regards,

You have reminded me how much my sketch books used to mean to me and how important they are. I too will be returning ti them now : )

I Love your videos, your explanations are perfect! You have inspired me in how I’m going to ignite excitement in the children attending my after school creative clubs. I’m going to introduce them to using sketchbooks at the start of session next term. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who has stacks of sketchbooks, I’ve kept all mine and I must have over 60 spanning my 32 years of creative journaling.

I loved this presentation and all your sketchbook entries.
Many of them reminded me of drawings I made that never dared repeat or show anyone for fear of hurting criticism. Watching your drawings in your sketchbook brought back memories and emotions I’d like to explore again.
Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me!
