This Junk Journal Artisans Meet-up is a gathering of individuals who share a passion for creating and embellishing junk journals. This drop-in club provides a supportive space for artists to work on their journals together, share ideas and techniques, and learn from each other's experiences. Bring your work in progress and craft with others in a shared space. Each artist will be responsible for bringing their own supplies to each session. Facilitated by Kathy Burnside. Here are some suggested ideas or guidelines to help keep the junk journal meetup fun and productive: Be respectful of all styles: Junk journaling is a personal craft, so embrace the variety of styles and techniques that people bring to the table. Be respectful of others' creative spaces. Sharing is caring: Encourage participants to share their work in progress or completed pieces. This is a great way to get feedback and inspiration. Come prepared: Each participant will bring their own basic supplies. Clean up: Make sure everyone cleans up after themselves to keep the meeting space tidy. Have fun: Most importantly, relax, have fun, and enjoy the company of fellow junk journal enthusiasts! Junk journaling is a great way to relax and be creative. Let’s share: On occasion bring along extra supplies to share or swap with others. Optional

The Junk Journal Artisans Meet-Up is a collaborative, self-directed workshop where paper crafters gather to work on handmade scrapbooks and memory journals. Led by Kathy Burnside, this session offers a dedicated workspace to share layout ideas, binding techniques, and creative inspiration with other local makers. This drop-in session costs five dollars at the door. You must bring your own supplies, including scissors, adhesive, paper scraps, and any journals you are currently working on. Because of the sharp tools and focus required, this activity is best suited for adults and focused teenagers rather than young children. It is a productive way to carve out dedicated creative time away from household distractions. You can finally organize those loose family vacation tickets, school photos, and paper keepsakes into a beautiful, tangible book.
