About this Event
In this second session of The Gathered Journal series, we return to the journals begun in our Cover Edition workshop and turn our attention inward ~ to the pages themselves.
With your cover already complete and your basic inserts in place, this session is about bringing your pages to life. We'll explore a range of ways to decorate and fill your journal, creating small handmade and painted ephemera pieces to tuck, layer, and adhere throughout ~ building pages that feel considered, personal, and full of quiet beauty.
Think painted pocket cards, hand-torn collage pieces, little botanical studies, stamped and stencilled details, and other small handmade elements that turn a blank page into something worth returning to. We'll look at ways to arrange and compose these elements so every spread feels intentional without being precious.
There will also be space to simply play ~ to try things, layer things, and let the journal become its own kind of creative record.
This session is open to those who attended The Gathered Journal: Cover Edition. If you're joining us for the first time with a journal already in hand, please get in touch to check suitability before booking.
This workshop is designed to feel like a creative pause ~ slow, soothing, exploratory, and grounding. Come back to your journal, and see what wants to fill it.
