TICKET TO VENICE - an online travel journal class from MAM on Vimeo.
I've never been more excited about an online class than I am about this one! Finally an opportunity for me to marry my love of traveling with my love of journaling & teaching. It feels like the perfect union. From Moss Cottage to Venice and back again. You'll watch as I experience the pure joy & wonder of travel. You'll sit beside me as I chronicle my Venetian days from my apartment overlooking one of the canals. 2 grand weeks worth of travel bliss, then back to California to finish my bursting-at-the-seams travel journal. Grab your passport, get your ticket, some sturdy walking shoes, and a sense of adventure. I've got things to see and I'm taking you with me!
TRAVEL JOURNAL INSPIRATION & INSTRUCTION
Explicit video instructions for you to construct {from start to finish} a lovely book structure with an exquisite stitch along the spine. I'll show you the exact supplies I carry with me when I journal abroad, how I prepare the journal ahead of time, and how I complete it when I get home. {plus about a billion other things I think of along the way} This will include videos before, during, and after the trip. {20 high-quality instructional videos} If you have difficulty finishing travel journals you start, are overwhelmed by possibilities, or just want a little guidance this will be right up your alley. The best part is you can access the information as often as you need. If your memory banks are full, like me, that will come in handy!
TRAVEL Details
A section of the class blog will be devoted to satisfying your travel-related curiosities re: solo travel, apartment rentals, etc.,
i will construct another journal in class that will be similar to the one above
PDFs
- During class you’ll be provided with a 12 page PDF document containing explicit directions for binding your book with this unique stitch.
- An 88 page travel memento/ PDF of every page in my travel journal along with a few special & memorable photos of Venice. Some of these photos will be shared on my public blog of course, but members of Ticket To Venice will be privy to every. single. page. Make a hot toddy, snuggle up in a warm nook, and pore over the pages on your ipad or computer.
DAILY DIGITAL POSTCARDS
Okay seriously? These are
delicious. I'm not kidding. If you caught a late flight and missed the postcards via email while I was in Venice, you'll be able to download high-resolution printable postcards of the entire series via PDF. They can be printed on fine thick paper and used as post-card-sized art prints, mailed to friends, hung on your inspiration boards, used in your own travel journal, or tucked away and
pulled out whenever you need a reminder of the power and wonder of
travel. 13 postcards altogether.
IN-DEPTH BLOGGING & VIDEOS FROM VENICE:
For those who buy their tickets to Venice you will have a first class seat right next to me for the entire trip. Of course, my public blog will
have brief posts about my trip, more like postcards to friends back home,
but those who choose to come along for the ride will be getting a rich stream of images & videos of the journey as it unfolds.
Imagine floating down the grand canal, going for strolls through the narrow streets, visiting markets, basking in the sights and sounds of
Venice. I look forward to capturing all of this with my camera. For
myself, yes, but also for you, my faithful armchair travelers. Once I'm back home you can STILL continue to sign up and be privy to the exact same videos, video blogs, and travel blogs. EVERY aspect of my Venetian journey is waiting for you.
I’ve been hard at work making a treasure trove of high-resolution printables for use in your visual journals, travel journals, or any of your mixed media projects. I think you’ll be pleased with the luscious assortment of labels, journaling cards, and tabs. In addition, I have high-resolution scans of vintage Italian envelopes w/ postage and vintage postcards. Create digital masterpieces of your own or print and use in your journals.
SOCIAL NETWORKING
An attractive easy to navigate class blog that will be available for years to come as well as a
private YAHOO GROUP filled with
enthusiastic, helpful artsy peeps. Share travel journals you make as a
class member. Share travels, discuss upcoming trips to Venice or anywhere
else you’re going or have been. Share how you use your book for something
other than travel. Share travel resources. Find your next travel partner/s. One thing is certain,
you’ll be in the midst of a lovely, warm group of your people.
And...a FLICKR GROUP where you can post future travel journals and travel photos you wish to share with the group.
FAQ
How long will Ticket To
Venice last?
Your access to the class blog will be unlimited for as long as you remember your log-in information. I only send it one time, just once. Think of this as a gift certificate you don't want to lose. In the unlikely event that I ever decide to take the class down, I'll give you plenty of advanced notice.
How will registration work?
Register whenever you like for this self-paced class. Your class information will be sent to you automatically. Class begins bright & early whenever you decide to begin.
What if I don’t travel and
don’t keep travel journals? How will this benefit me?
Especially for those of you unable to
travel as much as you'd like this will be your opportunity to travel and see
the world through my eyes. From the privacy of our own little fortress on
the internet you'll be able to hear what I hear, see what I see, read what I
write, and watch as I work in my travel journal from my Venice apartment.
If you don't want to make a travel journal, rest assured that this book
structure can be whatever you desire! a visual journal, private
diary, fieldbook, captain’s log, photo-journal, handmade scrap or
smash book, ship’s manifest…whatever! OR use it for a
future trip real or imagined.
So this a bookmaking class?
My intention for this class is that it become filled with people who
love to travel, people who are afraid to travel and people who can’t
travel. My hope is that through seeing me experience my
solo journey you will feel emboldened to go exploring in your own way on your
own terms. So yes, it’s a bookmaking class, with an Italian twist! You will have an excellent
reference and the know-how should you decide one day to make a travel journal of your very
own. And might I add...you’ll be well on your way to developing a library
of gorgeous and unusual book binding stitches!
Will the bookmaking
instruction be completely different from ROD and FTB?
While the book structure itself
may share some features of ROD & FTB, the binding stitch will be entirely
new. Since the focus is on travel journaling, what I do with the book after I make it will be qualitatively
different. You’ll watch me construct a book then you’ll watch as it becomes my working travel journal.
Will I be able to do this if
I’ve never made a book in my entire life?
For those who have taken any of my previous bookmaking classes, I have no doubt that you will be able to
master this stitch. I will demonstrate a super easy & attractive alternative stitch if you
are an absolute beginner and brand new to bookmaking. My instruction is very explicit and I will
break things down into small parts for you to easily digest. I want you to be successful and feel like an awesome genius when you're finished!
What supplies will I need?
basic bookmaking supplies, paper of your choice, adhesive, a sense of adventure {!}
Will I need a sewing machine like in ROD?
I will be doing minimal stitching on some of the pages, and you can join me or not - totally optional.
What basic tech skills will need to take this class?
A fast computer & high-speed internet service to process & watch the videos will be vital as well as enough technical know-how to download & print the PDF documents and locate the class log-in file in your DOWNLOADS section of your computer. If you are regularly able to watch videos of up to 15 minutes in length w/o interruption you should be just fine. Do make sure though, since tuition is non-refundable once your link to the class log-in information has been sent automatically.

HOW TO ACCESS THE CLASS AFTER REGISTRATION:
First, find the downloads section in your computer - I can't advise you on this as every operating system stores downloads in a different place. There you will find all the downloads for the class you are registered for. you will probably find more than 1 if your link has expired. You've downloaded them all, but just didn't know where to find them.
Locate the pdf file for the class for which you are registered. Print the pdf with the class log-in info as i don't resend should it become misplaced. Click on the class blog url in that pdf, use the passwords provided (in that same pdf) to gain access to the class blog.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR IPAD USERS: you must save the pdf with class log-in info to your ibooks app otherwise it will disappear...
Technical roadblocks are frustrating i know, but hopefully this will help you get you up and running in no time!




























so.excited.
it'll be my birthday present (12.18), I hope.
what a fabulous idea. gwen said it was going to be awesome (she didn't reveal any details), she's so right! (still really wish you'd come teach for us in person though :) would love to have you a part of the wine and laughter at our art party)
Posted by: celeste | Monday, November 12, 2012 at 09:03 PM
This looks fabulous! I'm so looking forward to this fun for the winter. I'll be finishing up a couple of my own travel journals while living vicariously through you on your journey. Gwen, Celeste & I might have to make a party of it once or twice. What would be more fun than hanging out with friends while doing the class?
Posted by: Tina | Monday, November 12, 2012 at 09:57 PM
I am sooo excited! I have been waiting for this class ever since you first told us about it. I loved the ROD class and was totally thrilled with the FTB class. I have 11 signatures started. I am going to start binding my everyday journal tomorrow with 5 signatures, and I am going make a pocket for my little Sunday journal to go in that journal. Thank you so much!
Posted by: Maxine | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 12:38 AM
I'm in... I will be traveling in Belgium when registration opens but I will find a way to jump in. SOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to it. When do you travel exactly? Or is that to stay a secret? Yippee!!!! New video's, new printables, new things. I am uber exited. Which means a lot! I want to go out in my robe and dance on the street right now. Now we have the 15 december to count to.

Posted by: Darlene | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 06:58 AM
You ROCK Mary Ann! This is going to be an early Bday gift to myself. I am so excited, a journey, a journal, getting to join you side by side on a trip to Venice. OMG. Over the weekend I found a couple of vintage postcards from Venice. I couldn't believe my eyes. I've begun to pack my bags, loaded them with all my favorites, walkin' shoes; stand ready, waders too, just in case :) and I'll be standing outside your door till registration begins. I don't think I will make it to Dec. 15th. I'm gonna burst!

the smell of my cafecito and dreaming of venice with you... a delicious dreamy dream come true. mary, you are magnifico!
Posted by: Yolanda | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 08:31 AM
Even though I've been there and am living in Italy right now, I'll be signing up for this class just because all the other classes I've taken with you were excellent and because I enjoy you so much in general! I'm sure you know this, but your visual journaling style is so completely different from everyone else's, while many other people somewhat resemble each other. I'm not saying I don't love a lot of their work too, but you are the Lone Ranger!
Posted by: Anna Maria | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 08:49 AM
You're such a delight! Blogs come and go, but yours, well, it's my ultimate favorite!!! Looking forward to joining you on this virtual adventure. There is no going to Venice with 3 kiddos, but following you along is gonna be AWESOME!
Can't wait!
Posted by: Myriam | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 10:05 AM
Merry Christmas to me! I'm taking a virtual trip to Venice.
Posted by: Robin | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 10:12 AM

can't wait to sign up!!
Posted by: barbara | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 10:54 AM
Yeah, a trip with you. Fun, adventure, a new travel journal what more could I ask for. Oh yeah, I would like to be with you in person, this will have to suffice. Can't wait.
Posted by: Peggy McDevitt | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 12:40 PM
wow this is a must! As a financially strapped Brit, anywhere in Europe in person at the moment is out of the question. This is totally the next best thing, maybe even better as taking this trip with you and loads of other like minded folk will be more fun and I will get to see more stuff than I would alone. Thanks MA.

I pulled out my sturdy shoes. And my travel journal traveling kit. Placed the ticket order.
Ready to GO!!

Can't wait for the adventure to begin! This is an early Christmas present to myself; thank you again for the opportunity to travel along with you, Mary Ann!
Posted by: kristi | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 04:05 PM
My heart is so full from reading about your class - I looked at this page so many times today, reading it all over again, it just makes me so happy! There was so many phrases that I loved: "from our own little fortress on the internet", and "that it become filled with people who love to travel,people who are afraid to travel and people who can’t travel" - brilliant. And very kind of you to donate money to Red Cross, as you have done before. You are a giving person, and the world is better for it. Now to count down the minutes till Sunday - I want to give you my money!!!
Posted by: Jane Bumar | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 05:02 PM
Oh my goodness I can't wait!!! I just got back from taking the train to seattle with my hubby and haven't done a travel journal about it yet - this will be perfect!!! Yeayyyyy!!!!!
Posted by: Michelle LaPoint Rydell | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 05:25 PM
St. Marks' Square with you? The Doges Palace with you? Venice hand blown glass, Murano glass, glass of every kind you can imagine with you? Italian pastry with you? Gondola rides with you? (make sure he can sing, but then what Italian can't sing). Hopping on and off water taxi's with you? The Bridge of Sighs with YOU? Wandering aimlessly through Venice with you? YOU BET MA. Can't wait. xoDonna

Yippee!!!!! So excited, and it is PERFECT because I am going to Venice in September, 2013...I will have a book all ready to go with me! and it will be a blast to do this with Tina and Celeste! As soon as I finish my new blog/website, I will grab your button to go on my site, too!!

Posted by: KateinCleveland | Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 04:23 AM
Wow, I am hoping I can join. I am just travelling homr from Turkey. A few days before departure I learned I have been terminated from my job because of a firm merger and redunency. I took my ROD journal and had everyone in my group sign it. I had so much fun. And I told everyone about your classes. Venice would be a great finish. I guess I had better do another type of travel Job hunting!

I've been to Venice three times in the last 5 years (in January and February) and would LOVE to go again with you. Venice is everything you imagine plus a 1000% more. However I am a traveler and will be in India for all of December..... will this be like your previous classes that I could access afterwards, even though the travel with Mary Ann part would be missing?
Posted by: Cara Seppelt | Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 12:14 PM
cara, yes it will! everything will be there for a long long long time. including the
"travel with mary ann part" That part will already have occured, but the travel posts, videos, and postcards will still be there for you to partake in :-))
Posted by: mary ann moss | Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 12:44 PM
OMG!! I can't wait. It will be so awesome to see videos from Venice! Now I don't have to reenact the conversations from the photos you have posted your blog.. you and your sister chatting while catching buses, losing sunglasses, having coffee, buying paper....oh wait, is that weird???? Doesn't everyone do that? :) Beth

Going to Venice for Christmas...a dream come true!! I can't think of anyone I'd rather travel with than you. Sooo excited for this class to start, I just can't sit still! I'm already going though my paper stash in my mind right now. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and talent with us.
Posted by: Cat | Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 09:48 PM
Although I have no plans to travel right now, I've plenty of photos, notes, and ephemera from past trips. I especially want to put all the stuff from my visits back home to England in some sort of order, and now I have the motivation to begin this project - I'm counting the days!
Posted by: Chris Shoop | Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 07:16 AM
I can't wait, sooooo excited.
Thank you for the new class.

Oh delight! This is a great class to take even if I don't make one page of a travel journal! Just your style, design process, bookbinding techniques, journal pages, ephemera, humor...is worth just sitting & watching the videos to see you create! I have watched so many FTB videos just for the sheer pleasure of watching you create! Thank you for taking on this huge project of sharing your creative process through your journey to Italy! I can't imagine the hours upon hours of work behind the scenes that goes into this & all of your classes! Can't wait! Safe travels Mary Ann & thanks again for taking us along with you!
Posted by: julia p | Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 05:13 PM
Yeah! Another class! I can't wait to begin! I love how you allow us the opportunity to watch your videos over and over and I don't have to panic that the material will be removed by a certain date. You offer a wealth of knowledge and ideas and I appreciate being able to learn from you. Thanks again for offering another online class.
Posted by: Diana | Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 09:29 PM
Wow two easy payments. Will you list also where you buy your supplies!

Mary Ann,
I can't wait for your class... Is it time yet? Well, is it? It should be.... It's waaaaaay harder than waiting for Santa!!!
Posted by: Susan | Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Mary Ann,
Am soooo excited for this class, I love Venice and can't wait to go back with you over the holidays.
A question/suggestion
In your class information you mention that you will use Flickr and set up a yahoo group BUT I was wondering if you might consider using instagram as well and set up a hashtag, for example, #TripToVenice? Just a thought for you to think about.
You are the best and the class sounds spectacular. I get more compliments on my ROD journal than any others I have created. (I am the one who took it to Greece and Ali Edwards saw it)
One last comment, I recently visited WDW and found an old 1950's Snow White Golden Book, which I repurposed into my journal, stitching pages inside the cover. It is very sweet...
Hugs,
Catherine

I signed up and am happily reading all your Yahoo posts!
I'd be ever so grateful if someone could instruct me how to add a "Ticket to Venice" badge to my blog (Blogger). I know it wasn't difficult once upon a time, because I added a couple in the past, before Blogger made all their changes. Well it wasn't difficult then, but I haven't been able to add a Mary Ann's badge at all since the changes.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to sign up for class, but don't quite see how. Nothing happens clicking on "buy now". Can you help? We just got back from Venice two weeks ago, and this really sounds like fun!
Posted by: Shirley Hedman | Monday, November 19, 2012 at 04:01 AM
I'm excited for you because you get to go to Venice, and excited for ME because I get to go with you! (Can we go shopping for beautiful papers again? That was really fun.)
"The power and wonder of travel" indeed! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.

What a fabulous idea! I have been to Italy twice (including Venice) and maybe, just maybe, I will actually finish my travel journals along with you. Love this!

Don't leave without me! These old bones can actually see Venice without any pain! And I know you, MA - you will find all the good stuff and be so generous in sharing it. xo

I just have one question: can the journal be any size? I don't really like the small ones that I have seen in joggles. Would an 8 x 10 be alright?
It sounds very exciting, I am just not sure yet what to use to make the actual book. Lol. I am a total beginner.
TY for your help.

Hi. You're probably not around right now, but I was signing up and I realized that the paypal account I use is Cathie's. I don't have one. Therefore, if there is automated class information it won't go to my email. Is this something you will be sending separately after my payment? Once I get it from her account will I be able to sign in from my email?
I guess even if it's sent automatically you can override it? I'm kind of a big dork when it comes to paypal, so I'm just being ultra cautious. i don't want to have to experience the entire class through a different email address than my own.
I'll just live dangerously and sign up. You'll get notice that snakebite1051 at yahoo dot com has purchased the class, but it's not for her, it's for me, parabolicmuse at gmail dot com.
Oh, sure. I'm high-maintenance already.

my husband inadvertently deleted important information from our email account. I believe it was the password that I need to access the class. Could you please resend it? Can't wait to join you overseas and I do want my virtual postcards.

Please dismiss my recent request about a deleted email as I've retrieved it. No need to resend information as I am good to go. thanks-Melora

Hi Mary Ann--just paid for the class, got my user id and password, signed up for postcards, but I don't find anything about registering for the class. Is there something I'm missing that I need to do? Thanks. Very excited about participating.

Am I too late to join the trip? How long your vid will be removed after end of your trip?

On your blog you posted:
To have the daily digital postcard series delivered straight to your inbox every day of our Venice trip, you’ll need to be registered and signed up for the mailing list no later than December 16, 2012.
How will that work for those who sign up now?

Just signed up and I'm so excited to journey with you. I leave for Portugal in a month so can't wait to get started preparing my journal.
Still think you should let us come with you for real :), but until then I will enjoy the visit via the www.
