Using a mix of charms from home and charms provided in class.


Taking inspiration from the viral Louise Carmen or the gorgeous Dejà Vu Journals, you can make your own leather journal, too.
Using upcycled leather offcuts rescued from local Tasmanian crafters, you'll handcraft an A6 journal cover complete with your choice of elastic cord, hardware colours, and three charms. Every piece is one-of-a-kind: because we work with upcycled leather, your colour is a surprise—part of the magic!
In two hours, you'll leave with a finished journal cover and the skills to make more at home in any size you like. All tools, templates, and step-by-step instructions are provided, plus links to online resources to keep creating long after the workshop ends.
Set inside Ella Jackson's beautiful leather studio in Bellerive, you'll be inspired at every turn. Come unleash your inner maker!
Feel free to contact me if you would like a date added; the more the merrier. As long as we have enough participants and the venue is available, I want to serve the community and meet your needs.
Little tip: If you have charms or pendants you love, bring them :)

Moved from Sydney to Hobart to live a slower life and have loved trying analog activities to stay off my phone!
I have an "I can figure this out" attitude, and when I see something that is way out of my budget or just beautiful but not to my taste, you will find me trying to recreate it.
I'm pretty easy going, ok with making mistakes and appreciate the "wabi sabi" in everything I see or do. I can't wait to share that spirit with you in this class!
