Join artist Donna Gordge for an eco-friendly crafternoon as you make your own books from materials we would often discard!

In a junk journal, objects normally destined for the trash are collected and turned into something lovely and useful. There's no need to buy expensive acid-free paper, embellishments, or fancy books when you can make your own custom journal, exactly how you want it.

Explore Donna’s suitcase of bits and pieces, as you create your own journal using a range of different techniques.
