DAC Nights: Junkalicious Journaling

Dive into a night of creativity and conscious crafting at DAC Nights: Junkalicious Journaling, where your scraps and keepsakes become the star of the show. This hands-on workshop invites you to transform recycled materials into a one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly junk journal you can treasure, gift, or keep adding to all year long.

Junk journaling is a playful mix of collage, scrapbooking, and traditional journaling, and this event is all about embracing imperfection and personal style. Guided by DAC Nights staff, you’ll learn how to assemble and bind your own handmade book, then fill it with colors, textures, and memories that reflect you.

• Learn how to bind and build a custom journal from scratch using recycled and repurposed materials.
• Experiment with collage, layering, and mixed-media layouts to give each page its own personality.
• Use templates and examples to design your own stamps and embellishments for extra flair.
• Play with a wide variety of provided supplies, from paper and fabric scraps to decorative bits and pieces.
• Bring your own photos, ticket stubs, letters, or found papers to make your journal truly personal.
• Enjoy a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere perfect for beginners, seasoned artists, and everyone in between.

The vibe is casual and creative: think low-pressure art night where experimentation is encouraged and “mistakes” often turn into your favorite details. Whether you’re looking to start a new journaling habit, repurpose old materials in a sustainable way, or just enjoy a fun night of making art with others, this event gives you the space and supplies to play.

Best of all, it’s free to attend, so you can spend the evening turning yesterday’s paper pile into tomorrow’s favorite journal—no experience required, just your imagination and anything special you’d like to tuck between the pages.
