Event Details
Transform everyday materials into personalized journals. Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to create and embellish a junk journal from scratch. In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll start by using the traditional pamphlet stitch to assemble a simple journal, and embellish it with provided material from your kit. This workshop will inspire you to craft a one-of-a-kind journal that’s uniquely yours!
Each patron will receive instructions and a unique kit consisting of any combination of new and vintage book pages (illustrated, French, poetry, math, science, maps, dictionary), music sheets, wallpaper, hand dyed paper, scrapbook paper, pieces of fabric, segments of crocheted doilies, embroidered linens, ribbon and lace, sari silk ribbon, envelopes, postcards, printed images, washi tape, and other ephemera. Each kit also includes a needle and waxed thread needed for bookbinding, and a glue stick. The presenter also provides for use during class: one bone folder, one awl tool, and one fabric glue per every 2 participants.
