A Journal for Christmas

£47.50

1 OR 2 Day workshop

Sat, 19th December, 2020 to Sun, 20th December, 2020

10:00am - 4:00pm

A wonderful opportunity to spend the day, or even two making a journal for Christmas. These would make a lovely gift for someone or yourself. You could record all your Christmas memories that could be used year after year. Your journal could be made from recycled materials or completely new, there are no rules, so dig into your stash. You will be shown how to select and organise your papers, create a cover and sew in your signature. You can then decorate your unique journal.
