Beginners Junk Journalling / Art Journal Workshop - Junk Journalling - Blended Monkey

Description

Join our guest tutor for a beginner's JUNK JOURNALLING workshop where you'll build a unique 5x7" spiral-bound journal from scratch. This workshop will held in the bright and spacious classroom at the Farmland Museum & Denny Abbey in Waterbeach (CB25 9PQ). Junk journalling is an extremely varied craft involving techniques from a range of disciplines. However, this workshop focuses on the main skills that'll ensure you come away with a piece you're proud of, such as: o spiral binding o stamping o sewing o envelope & pocket making, and o collaging The whole procedure will be explained from start to finish by our guest tutor and also with the aid of real-time footage on a large screen showing each step up close. The session will start with a brief introduction about the craft and the plans for the day. Following that, our guest tutor will demonstrate a few techniques before you create your journal's front and back covers. Once your covers are complete, you'll pick 25 inside pages and we'll help you to spiral bind your journal. By this point, you may be feeling a tad peckish, so you can head over to the Docky Box Tearoom for lunch. In the afternoon, we'll demonstrate some more techniques (envelope making, pocket creation, and sewing) before letting you get stuck into filling the pages using washi tapes, ephemera, pockets, stamping, bands ... so many options! At the end of the session, you'll take your newly created 25-page 5x7" junk journal home where you can continue to add to it if you wish. The fabulous Docky Box Tearoom at the Farmland Museum has some truly scrumptious food to tempt you at lunchtime🍲; plenty of yummy treats, so you won’t go hungry 🥔❣️ This would make a fabulous CRAFTY GIFT for someone - so drop us a line and we can post out to you/the recipient a complimentary personalised gift certificate for this experience 🎁
