Description: Why create a Junk Journal? It is a fun, creative process that uses minimal tools and incorporates materials that would otherwise be discarded. These journals serve as excellent places to store tutorials, formulas, trial pieces, photos, and ideas. They can be unique art pieces or thoughtful gifts.
This class is suitable for all skill levels. Beginners will be guided through the process, while experienced participants are invited to experiment with a variety of materials. Packets containing all necessary supplies will be provided.
In the morning, we will create common structures such as tags, pockets, and belly bands, mounting them into a soft-cover journal for your future reference. In the afternoon, we will construct a hard cover and begin the final creation of your journal. You may choose between a themed packet—containing focal images, postcards, and stickers—or select from a wide variety of "junk" materials.
As this is a slow, creative process, you may not fully complete the decoration of your journal during class time. However, all supplies will be available for you to take home to finish your project.
Student to bring: Paper scissors and metal ruler would be helpful but not essential. Also, if desired, bring anything relatively flat that you would like to include (letters, photos, "things"
Instructor to bring: Instructor will provide all materials needed.
