4 Week Botanical Themed Junk Journaling Workshop

Discover the art of turning trash into treasure!

Ever wanted to craft something truly unique from things you already have lying around? Join us for a fun, hands-on Beginner’s Junk Journaling Workshop - a perfect intro to this creative, sustainable, and joy-filled art form!

A junk journal is a handmade book created from recycled and found materials - think old envelopes, cereal boxes, vintage magazines, fabric scraps, broken jewellery, buttons, lace, and more. They can be used for writing, drawing, memory-keeping, or given as beautiful, one-of-a-kind gifts.

This beginner-friendly session is a gentle, relaxed introduction to junk journaling. Whether you're a total newbie or curious crafter, you'll leave with a completed journal and plenty of inspiration. There’s potential for longer, more in-depth courses in the future - this is just the beginning!

Everything will be supplied in the workshop as it is a beginner friendly junk journal class, but feel free to bring your own bits & bobs if you like - photos, old papers, fabric scraps, trinkets - anything you'd love to repurpose! Please bring your own scissors.

This type of craft is suitable for ages 16 years and over.
