Step into the creative world of junk journalling in this hands-on class at Zetta Florence. Over the session, you’ll receive a brand-new sketchbook and begin filling the first few pages with your own ideas, memories, and inspiration.
Come with a theme in mind. Will your journal capture travel adventures, daily musings, or the changing seasons?
We recommend gathering little treasures along the way, things like:
  • Tickets
  • Snippets
  • Notes
  • Other small objects that fit your theme
The class begins with playful practice---you’ll explore collaging techniques using our plentiful selection of papers, ephemera, and bits and bobs. From there, you’ll move into your own sketchbook, guided through techniques that will help your journal come alive, while learning a little about the history and craft of junk journalling.
Journaling is a meditative, reflective practice, and this class encourages a gentle, solo exploration of your creativity, while still offering guidance and inspiration along the way.
By the end, you’ll leave with the beginnings of a personal, themed junk journal, along with the skills and confidence to continue your creative journey at home.

  • 5/5 from Rebecca Hawkins, attended Jul 2026: A great introduction to junk journalling. Michelle makes it seem easy to be creative as she has so many fantastic ideas and demonstrates everything in a way that is easy to follow. Highly recommend this class as an introduction and to get you motivated and the creative side of your brain moving!
  • 5/5 from Bronwyn Low, attended Jun 2026: I loved this class! Michelle is an amazing teacher and a wonderful creative genius!! The class includes lots of different techniques which can’t help but inspire. The facilities at Zetta are great and it is a lovely to place to shop afterwards. I would really like to take another class with Michelle in the future :0)
  • 5/5 from Josie Armao, attended Jun 2026: Michelle was an exceptional teacher. As an amazing artist, she has a passion for guiding those of us seeking to discover our inner creativity. I loved that there was no judgment; Michelle was always encouraging and supportive. Junk journaling, in particular, is a wonderful mindfulness activity, and it was a pleasure to learn.
  • 5/5 from Catherine Barrett, attended Jun 2026: Michelle was fabulous. Great afternoon with a fab group. Can’t wait for next course
  • 5/5 from Juliette Nelson, attended Jun 2026: Awesome class - so many options and just the right amount of guidance and different methods taught!
  • 5/5 from Natalie Aarons, attended Mar 2026: What a relaxing a relaxing way to spend a Saturday arfternoon! Michelle was a warm and friendly facilitator who generously shared her knowledge. Zetta Florence is an inspiring setting and I appreciated the snacks and tea to keep the creative juices flowing.
  • 5/5 from Jan McGowan, attended Oct 2025: What a fabulous creative experience! Alisa was very generous with her knowledge and support. Very appreciative of all the supplies and materials that were provided. A gorgeous relaxing space to create and share. Will definitely return! ️
  • 5/5 from Rose Senkans, attended Oct 2025: Instructor was very helpful and all supplies for junk journaling supplied…and morning tea! Beautiful journal to take home and fun class in an enchanting store!
  • 4/5 from Olivia Cochrane, attended Oct 2025: This was a really fun introduction to junk journalling! I loved the workshop space and the Zetta Florence team were lovely and attentive. This is 100% personal preference, but I would have enjoyed the class a lot more if the booklet and concertina exercises were optional or left to the second half of the workshop. I like being spontaneous and free with creating artwork and exploring new processes in my own time. I found those exercises a little stressful (it gave me flashbacks to high school maths haha!) and I didn't get the most of them. Asides from that, I loved the class and look forward to exploring junk journalling! The journal was a lovely bonus.
  • 5/5 from Emmy, attended Sep 2025: Yesterday I went to the most amazing calligraphy workshop! I was greeted by a smile with a lovely coffee! I haven’t been that invested and focused on a task for a long time and it was refreshing! I slowed down and created with my hands and surrounded by people who wanted to do the same!! The facilities were great too and afterwards it was lovely to stroll around the store :)) Thank you!!
