FOSTERING COMMUNITY THROUGH THE ART OF BEAUTIFUL WRITING

NEXT MEETING PROGRAM: September 19, 2026 | 9:30 AM

Introduction to Junk Journaling and Handmade Books 

For our first hands-on program of the season, we will learn all about junk journaling! Junk journaling uses repurposed materials to create one-of-a-kind handmade books. These books can be used for art journaling, sketching, gratitude, calligraphy practice or just documenting your daily life. During this program, Hillary and Dana will present a short lecture and then lead a step-by-step lesson on making a mini journal using a brown paper gift bag and scrap papers. Most supplies will be provided but everyone will need to bring a few things from home. Hillary adds, “I look forward to sharing my love of making journals with our group and hope everyone can make it in September!

Members will need to bring the following: 

•   White glue, glue stick or tape runner 

•   Favorite calligraphy pens and inks (for writing in their journal), pens/pencils for embellishing  

•   Any scrap papers or stickers to add for embellishing 

•   Additional items to bring IF you already have them (these can easily be shared): paper trimmer, metal ruler, cutting mat with x-acto knife
