A f f i n e : An intimate workshop for stationers
Affine was created because I saw the need for a workshop
tailored to stationers and I wanted to create the type of
workshop that I would have wanted to attend as a young
stationer - a calm and intimate environment where I felt
comfortable asking questions and participating in
conversations and that provided me with practical and
actionable steps.
Workshop Overview
Affine is an intimate workshop for stationers that provides teaching and observation as well as hands-on experience to help artists elevate and refine their brand and their process in order to attract and book the higher budget clients that they want to be working with.
I will take you through my entire process, show how I have been able to grow my business, refine my process, and elevate my aesthetic. This helped me create more personalized work which has set me apart from the crowd and enabled me to attract & work with my ideal clients, generating more income with less work. I will teach you how you can apply the same principles and strategies which will increase your confidence and your bottom line.
Guest Stylist & Lecturer: Ginny Au
I thrilled to be welcoming our guest lecturer and stylist Ginny Au. Ginny is a Creative Director, Stylist, Lifestyle Curator and Social Media Campaign Specialist. She founded the LOOM Project and is the co-owner of FrouFrou Chic and has a long history in design and styling within the wedding industry. Ginny will be leading discussions on styling as well as helping guide attendees in designing their own vignettes and flatlays.
Special Remote Speaker
I am also thrilled to be welcoming Katie O. Selvidge as a remote speaker as she is expecting a baby shortly after the workshop. Katie is the founder and owner of Cottage Hill, and co-founder and co-owner of Cottage Hill Ranch with her husband Nate. Through all of her accomplishments, she firmly believes in creating a life more beautiful than your brand.
Workshop Environment
Affine is specifically geared towards stationers who are looking for both a workshop and for mentorship. In fact, this workshop will begin and end with a mentoring call, to make sure that you receive the maximum benefit from the workshop as well as equipping you with an action plan to follow afterwards.
Affine will be limited to a small number of attendees so that each attendee will receive individual time with both Jenny and Ginny in a welcoming and intimate environment.

Please note
This workshop is not intended to teach the basics of stationery design. Although we will be discussing design, styling, and the creative process, you will get the most out of the workshop if you already have a working knowledge of designing paper goods. We will not be teaching technical skills such as digitizing or how to use computer design programs. If you are unsure of whether this workshop would be a good fit, please e-mail me and I would be happy to advise.
