At Willard Art & Frame, Bothell

The Joyful Little Journal

Two hours. One little handmade journal.

Overview

What we're making.

We make a pocket journal from upcycled materials and fabric scraps with a ribbon and button closure. I walk you through every step, and you choose what goes on the cover. It's two hours of playful creativity right before the holidays get loud.

There's no writing in class. That part's for later, at home, when you start filling it with the small good moments.

Can't make the 5th? Get on the list and I'll tell you when the next one opens.

Details:

  • Saturday, December 5, 3 to 5pm

  • $45, all materials included

  • Ages 16 and up, 10 seats
