 One form of Art Journaling - Junk Journaling! This technique allows creators to create and collage with meaning.

Junk Journaling is a fun, expressive, and eco-friendly way to create meaningful art from everyday materials. In this hands-on course, students will create their own personal junk journals using found papers, old book pages, packaging, tags, envelopes, and other materials. Whether you're a seasoned artist, crafy hobbyist, or someone looking for a creative outlet, this class offers space to explore visual storytelling through layered textures and mixed media. Junk journaling combines the spontaneity of collage with the reflection of journaling. No art experience is required, just a love of paper, curiosity, and a playful spirit!
