Junk Journal Workshop
Come get messy, creative, and a little nostalgic at our Junk Journal Workshop, a playful art-making experience where there are no rules, no perfect pages, and no artistic experience required.
We’re so excited to be partnering with Local Color for this special donation-based workshop at Big Arts! Together, we’ll spend an evening turning everyday scraps and creative odds and ends into a journal that is completely your own.
Junk journaling is part scrapbook, part collage, part diary, and part creative playground. You’ll start with your own notebook/journal and fill it with layers of color, texture, words, images, patterns, and whatever else catches your eye. Tear out a page from a magazine. Add a funny sticker. Stamp something unexpected. Layer washi tape over a handwritten note. Scribble in the margins. There’s no wrong way to do it.
✂️ What You’ll Get
Your workshop experience includes a notebook/journal to take home and access to a huge assortment of creative materials, including:
✨ Stickers and embellishments
📰 Magazines for cutting and collage
📄 Decorative and patterned papers
🎨 Stamps and ink
🌈 Washi tape
🖊️ Markers and writing tools
✂️ Collage materials and paper scraps
💌 Found objects and creative odds and ends
And plenty of other little treasures to inspire your pages
You’re encouraged to mix, match, layer, tear, doodle, stamp, write, and experiment. Your journal can become a place for memories, ideas, art, affirmations, lists, random thoughts—or simply a collection of things you think are cool.
💜 A Creative Night With Local Color
We’re excited to pilot some workshops at Local Color’s newest space, Big Arts! It’s an opportunity for creativity, community, and connection in San Jose!
This event is donation-based, making it accessible to anyone who wants to spend a couple of hours creating and connecting. Come for free, and if you’re able, consider making a donation to support Our Hub and Local Color so that we can continue creating accessible art experiences in our community.
🌟 No Experience Necessary
You do not need to consider yourself “artistic” to come. In fact, junk journaling is perfect for anyone who has ever said, “I’m not creative.”
There’s no finished example you need to copy and no right answer to figure out. We’ll provide the materials and inspiration—you just get to play.
Come solo, bring a friend, meet some fellow creatives, and give yourself permission to make something just because it’s fun.
