Classical Gardens Journaling Night

Join Classical Gardens for our very first Journaling Night a relaxed, beginner-friendly creative evening designed for anyone who loves paper, pretty details, journaling, and simply wants a few hours to slow down and create.

We'll spend the evening creating a beautiful autumn-inspired journal spread together, with guided prompts, curated papers, vintage-inspired ephemera, stickers, embellishments, and plenty of time to make the project your own. No previous journaling or crafting experience is needed.

Whether you've been journaling for years, have a journal sitting unused at home, or simply want to try something creative and meet other people who enjoy making things, you're welcome here. Come by yourself, bring a friend, or come ready to make new creative connections.

During our two-hour creative evening, you'll:

✿ Learn simple techniques for creating a beautiful journal spread
✿ Use a curated selection of papers, ephemera, stickers, washi, and embellishments
✿ Work through gentle journaling prompts
✿ Create a finished autumn-inspired journal spread
✿ Have time to experiment, decorate, write, and make the project your own
✿ Enjoy a cozy, creative evening with other makers

This is a relaxed workshop rather than a formal class. I'll guide you through the project, but there is plenty of freedom to create something that feels like you.

Perfect if you already have a journal you'd love to use.
