JUNK JOURNALS

Junk Journaling
November 12th at 6 PM
Junk journaling is a personal art form where the creator crafts each page using pieces of wrappers, paper, memorabilia and collaging them together. A nod to scrapbooking with a rougher around the edges appeal. Textures and exploration and layering are prioritized and hoarding is a must. Lets celebrate the collector of things in all of us by putting it down on paper. If you have sat with us before, just bring your journal and the spirit, if you are new, no sweat we have everything you need to get started.
 
Please register for this program and let us know to hold you a seat by calling 585.728.5380

Would you be willing to show a group of us how to start seeds, or teach us how to make sourdough bread?

Would you consider leading a writers workshop or a drum circle at the library? Are you a historian, a globetrotter, or a naturalist? Together we could organize an evening for you to do a presentation! The possibilities are endless!
