Junk Journal Ephemera

🎨 Make Your Own Junk Journal Ephemera
📅 November 15th | 🕓 11am - 12pm
📍 Utility Works - Makerspace

Love junk journaling? Take your pages to the next level by creating your own custom ephemera—the tags, tuck-ins, cards, and collaged bits that bring a journal to life!

In this hands-on class, a local artist will guide you through creative techniques for crafting one-of-a-kind journal elements using mixed media, found papers, and upcycled materials. From vintage-inspired tags to layered collage cards and textured embellishments, you’ll learn how to turn everyday scraps into treasures.

✨ What to Expect:

• Guided instruction and demos from a local artist
• All supplies provided (plus space to bring your own favorite papers or materials!)
• A relaxing, creative atmosphere perfect for experimenting and connecting
• A collection of finished ephemera pieces to take home and use in your journals

Whether you’re new to junk journaling or already have stacks of pages waiting for the perfect detail, this class is all about creative reuse, personal expression, and a little bit of beautiful chaos.
