In this workshop, you will learn how to bind a single-month journal using beautiful materials and quality tools. This style of journaling is particularly good for people who need flexibility and structure – people who love to keep things fresh and new but also need routines and structure to stay on top of things.
This simple but beautiful, slim volume journal brings together three hand-sewn signatures featuring a combination of carefully designed and curated templates and page formats to support continuity whilst offering plenty of scope for a flexible approach to busy brain journaling. Templates include dotted pages and blank pages offering a consistent dating system and room for photographs, drawings, paintings, and ephemera.
Once your journal is made, the remainder of the workshop will be used to explore how to get the most out of your journals. Using a range of mixed media materials and mediums, you will explore some tried and tested techniques as well as explore your creative potential to record and document the things that are important to you.
What you'll get
  • A stunning handbound, three-signature, 1-month journal.
  • Master copies of the templates to use for future journals.
  • A full set of extra materials to make a second journal at home.
  • Sample pages you will make as part of the exploration.
Knowledge required
Suitable for absolute beginners or people who want to enhance their current skills.
What to bring
Just yourself and your creative spirit… Personal paper ephemera or photos may be used, but they are absolutely optional… There will be plenty of multimedia materials, beautiful scrap paper, and tapes and stickers provided!
