JunkArt Journal Pages Workshop

JunkArt Journal Pages Workshop

A playful pre-workshop to JunkArt Journal Making. This workshop is where the glorious mess begins. If you’ve ever opened a blank page and felt your creativity politely leave the room, this session solves that problem fast. We’ll loosen perfection’s grip and fill pages with colour, texture and story so when it’s time to bind a journal, your pages are already alive and waiting.

Designed as a pre-workshop to JunkArt Journal Making, this class is all about creating a stack of richly layered pages you’ll turn into a one-of-a-kind journal next week. No pressure to “get it right”, no rules to follow, just playful exploration and hands-on making.

You’ll leave with confidence, momentum and a bundle of finished pages that feel expressive and personal. Students often say this workshop unlocks their creativity and makes the journal-making workshop feel exciting instead of intimidating. It’s the difference between staring at materials… and knowing exactly what to do with them.

What you’ll Get

• A guided, step-by-step creative session

• A collection of completed JunkArt Journal Pages ready for binding

• A relaxed, supportive creative space with plenty of inspiration

What You’ll Learn

• How to build layered JunkArt pages using mixed media techniques

• How to combine paint, pencil and pastel for depth and movement

• Simple textile and hand-stitching techniques to add texture and story

• Ways to incorporate scraps, fabrics and “found” elements meaningfully

• How to work intuitively without overthinking or overplanning

• How to prepare pages so they’re ready for the JunkArt Journal Making workshop

Think of this workshop as the joyful warm-up act: messy fingers, happy pages and creativity switched firmly on before the main event.
