SPARK: A LITTLE FLICKER, A WHOLE NEW LIGHT
An art journaling journey through Get Messy's Idea Books
What is spark?
Spark is for you if you've ever felt that quiet pull to create — but didn't know where to begin. It's for the creative dabblers ready to build a real practice. For the art journalers who want their pages to feel alive again.
Every single time you follow a recipe, you'll discover a new outcome.
Inside Get Messy's Idea Books live what we call Messy Recipes - a decade-tested format that prevents overthinking and hands you the permission to just… play. They have ingredients. They have a method. But the real magic? It's in following your joy.
Your three sparks
Each book is its own world. Each lesson is a doorway. Together, they build something beautiful.
6 lessons + 6 live workshops.
Explore how color moves, mixes, and feels. Build confidence with palettes, blending, and bold, joyful choices on the page.
6 lessons + 6 live workshops.
Tear, layer, discover. Collage is the art of happy accidents - and your journal is the perfect place to let it happen.
6 lessons + 6 live workshops.
Loosen your grip. Find your hand. Play with letterforms in ways you never expected - layered, loose, and completely yours.
How it unfolds
1 Open a book together
Each week, Claudette leads a live workshop walking you through one of the chapters from the Idea Books - gently, playfully, with zero pressure.
2 Follow the Messy Recipe
You'll get "ingredients" and a loose "method" - then you follow your curiosity from there. Adapt. Ignore. Branch out. That's the point.
3 Watch it become yours
Same recipe, wildly different results. That's the magic. Your pages will look like you - and that's the whole idea.
The Secret Ingredient
What's a Messy Recipe?
Think of it like baking a cake - it has ingredients and a method. But unlike baking a cake, you don't have to keep things exact. In fact, you're encouraged not to. Messy Recipes have magical properties: they prevent overthinking, teach new techniques, and hand you back your joy. One recipe. A thousand beautiful outcomes.
Ready?
Light your spark. Start creating.
