What to Expect

• Show up and create: Bring your own journal or buy one from our shop. Some special events include a journal! ( Journaling is our main jam here, but there are many other options to try out if interested) For example, if the craft of the day, is bookmarks, and you want use of the full studio to paint, use the sewing machine n fabric or of course journal. You totally can!  


• No pressure: You can create a single page or up to 3 pages whatever fits your mood that day. Perhaps you want to do some work with beads. Or just make some elements to tuck into your journal later. The space is meant for exploring!
