Unleash your inner collage artist and give old paper a brand-new story!

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll transform book pages, envelopes, maps, magazine clippings, and other “junk” into beautiful, one-of-a-kind journals. Learn simple folding, binding, and decorating techniques while mixing textures, colors, and surprises on every page. Whether you fill yours with doodles, lists, poems, or keepsakes, your junk journal will be a creative time capsule that’s 100% you. No experience needed—just bring your imagination and a love for paper with personality.

(Basic start-up supplies will be available on a limited basis.)
