About this Event
Take a break from all the festive chaos and join us for a deliciously slow, joy-filled morning of making, where we’ll explore simple bookbinding techniques and create our very own junk journals from scratch - beautiful, tactile notebooks built from everyday treasures.
You’ll learn how to bind your pages using easy, beginner-friendly methods. You are encouraged to bring your own artwork, prints, scrap cardboard or papers to use. Put all that wrapping paper to good use + save this years christmas cards from the recycling bin.
We'll show you have to turn them into the cover and pages of your junk journal.
Then spend the rest of the session cutting, sticking, and collaging to your heart’s content. We’ll provide plenty of papers, textures, and collage materials, but you’re warmly encouraged to bring along your own “scrappy finds” - think cards, reciepts, tickets, packaging, or anything that makes your heart happy.
Maybe you want to save some memories from this year's festivities, or perhaps you're ready to start planning for the new year ahead - junk journalling is a relaxing, fun and creative way to tell your story!
Our lovely neighbours ZéZé in Deptford Market Yard will be serving up delicious brunch options, so you can sip, snack, and stick together your creations in good company.
No experience needed - just come as you are, ready to play with paper and leave with something beautifully, perfectly imperfect that’s all your own.
