A full-day workshop of playful paper-making, journal construction, and creative activation.
SATURDAY, February 7th, 2026
10:00 – 3:00 Includes one-hour lunch break
Morning: Playful Paper-Making
We’ll spend the morning creating expressive papers with brush play, mark-making, and monoprinting. You’ll build a collection of unique pages, then choose and prepare them for your journal. You’re welcome to bring your own paper collections—postcards, sheet music, book pages, magazine clippings, watercolor paper, or even paper bags—to mix in with what we make.
Afternoon: Journal-Making & Activation
In the afternoon, we’ll bind your papers into journals and begin exploring ways to bring them to life. Through prompts and techniques, you’ll discover how to activate your pages with artwork, writing, collage, and personal treasures. By day’s end, you’ll have a handmade journal and inspiration to continue your creative journey.
Peggy Smith and Jen Volansky are excited to be teaching this workshop together, and look forward to sharing a day of creativity with you
