Beginner's Junk Journalling Workshop | Blended Monkey Studios | Sunday 22 Feb

£75.00Price
Sunday 22 Feb - 9.45 - 4.00 pm - Blended Monkey Studios - PE14 9BG
 
Suitable for children 13+ accompanied by an adult.
 
Join Zakiya, our guest tutor from Fanoggins, for a beginner's JUNK JOURNALLING workshop where you'll build a unique 5x7" spiral-bound journal from scratch.
 
Junk journalling is an extremely varied craft involving techniques from a range of disciplines. However, this workshop focuses on the main skills that'll ensure you come away with a piece you're proud of, such as:
 
  • spiral binding
  • stamping
  • sewing
  • envelope & pocket making, and
  • collaging
 
The whole procedure will be explained from start to finish by Zakiya in a small-group workshop so it's easy to see and follow the techniques.
 
The session will start with a brief introduction about the craft and the plans for the day. Following that, Zakiya will demonstrate a few techniques before you create your journal's front and back covers.
 
Once your covers are complete, you'll pick 25 inside pages and we'll help you to spiral bind your journal.
By this point, you may be feeling a tad peckish, so we'll break for lunch in the Blended Monkey kitchen.

In the afternoon, we'll demonstrate some more techniques (envelope making, pocket creation, and sewing) before letting you get stuck into filling the pages using washi tapes, ephemera, pockets, stamping, bands ... so many options!
 
At the end of the session, you'll take your newly created 25-page 5x7" junk journal home where you can continue to add to it if you wish. 
 
We’ll supply everything you need to craft your junk journal (including a fabulous starter pack bursting with papers and ephemera), but you’re welcome to bring your own photographs, magazines, old books, drawings, buttons, and ephemera to use in your journal.

Tickets cost just £75.00 and include
 
🖌️ use of all the equipment on the day, materials and spiral binding of your work
🍵 refreshments & lunch - catering to all dietary requirements
 
This would make a fabulous CRAFTY GIFT for someone - so drop us a line and we can post out to you/the recipient a complimentary personalised gift certificate for this experience🎁

    "I am passionate about the art of junk journal making, book binding and making my own unique papers. I enjoy teaching my craft in the form of small-group workshops, so others can learn how to make and bind beautiful paper journals, and employ techniques such as embossing, signature stitching, momigami ... and I love teaching the fabulously creative art of paper making.

    Fanoggins is all about books (currently) - junk journals and rebound novels, to be exact. I create them so you can use them for whatever your heart desires. Thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, plans, dreams, shopping lists, habit trackers, you name it; my one-of-a-kind, handbound journals serve as their ideal home."
