Junk Journal Making Workshop

In this two-part workshop, you will hand-make a Junk Journal and design several old-fashioned styled pages using repurposed vintage ephemera.

Part 1: Make a Junk Journal
In the first class, you will hand-make a soft cover Junk Journal from hand-dyed and intentionally distressed pages, giving the journal an old-fashioned quality. You will design the covers using vintage stamps and distressed inks and then add vintage elements like stitching, lace, buttons and trinkets to make the journal a one-of-a-kind piece unique to you.

Part 2: Junk Journal Pages
In the second half of the class, you will create pages and pockets for your Junk Journal by incorporating vintage images, stamps, paints, stencils, buttons, ribbons, lace, stamped pieces, doilies, text and sheet music, transforming them into designs of yesteryear.
