Create a journal that’s completely your own in this hands-on class with artist Anna Seifert. You’ll build your journal from a mix of unexpected materials, including recycled papers, old book covers, scrapbook pieces, tea- and coffee-dyed paper, and more!

You’ll learn how to combine papers, textures, and embellishments to create pages with your own style, then learn the basics of binding and finishing your journal. Use it for writing, sketching, photos, keepsakes, lists, or whatever you want to fill it with.

No two journals will look alike, and there’s no “right” way to make one. Come experiment, make something personal, and see where your ideas take you!

Ages 12 and up.

This class is FREE thanks to a grant from the Menke Charitable Foundation.
