Make a Gift Bag Junk Journal

Saturday, May 11th

Make a Gift Bag Junk Journal with Wendy Harrington
Saturday, May 11th Two Sessions:  10-Noon and Noon to 2
Journaling is ancient; from the greatest rulers to the most obscure commoners, people have been inscribing their sentiments, ideas, and reactions in diaries and journals for millennia.
Various forms of scrapbooking and journaling continue to the present day.

New to the journal scene are “junk journals” where media artists create personalized blank books from recycled materials. Handmade junk journals can serve almost any purpose imaginable – planner, scrapbook, diary, or a record of trips, books, hobbies, gardening, and more.  

In this class you can experience the art of creating a junk journal by repurposing a gift bag into a unique notebook.  Please sign up for your preferred session.
