Highlights
Workshop Highlights
Make a Journal from Everyday Materials
The workshop shows you how to construct a mini junk journal from repurposed bases — a Walmart or Amazon bag or sturdy cardstock — then stencil, stamp and bind the pages using a three‑hole pamphlet stitch. All supplies for those processes are supplied.
Step‑by‑Step Instruction and Embellishment
Participants receive hands‑on guidance from the creative instructor for every stage — from assembling and binding to embellishing the finished journal with provided elements. The structure is private and group‑focused so you leave with a finished keepsake.
Local Venues or Your Own VRBO/Airbnb
Workshops can be staged at Shore Marketplace in Lewes, First State Brewing in Rehoboth Beach, or at a first‑level private residence, VRBO or Airbnb if you have adequate space — giving small groups flexible options for a rainy‑day activity.
