Beginner Junk Journaling
Registration due January 4th, Ages 15+.
Class Description
This introductory series explores the creation of junk journals through simple layouts, interactive pages, and mixed-media techniques. Each workshop builds on the previous session, introducing new elements such as pockets, folios, flaps, envelopes, tabs, tags, ephemera, and hidden spaces. Students will create a simple junk journal using a variety of materials including scrapbook paper, magazines, packing materials, cardstock, craft paper, photographs, mixed media, ink, stamps, stickers, ribbon, lace, buttons, quotes, poetry, and storytelling.
The workshops are designed to encourage creativity without requiring traditional drawing, painting, or sculpting skills. Students will explore color schemes, composition, balance, contrast, unity, rhythm, and other principles of design while developing their own personal approach to junk journaling.
