By popular demand! This class is offered twice a month to make it easier for those commuting—or to give you double the creative fun.

Mondays in the evening

OR

Thursdays at Lunchtime

Artful Pages is a playful, technique-focused junk journaling class where we explore the art of building beautiful, textured pages using a wide variety of materials, tools, and artistic methods.

This class is a breakout from our Journal Journey series, designed for those who want to go deeper into the artistic techniques behind journaling. We’ll experiment with layers, folds, collage, stamping, textures, and mixed-media approaches that transform ordinary pages into expressive works of art.

Think inspiration from both traditional and modern techniques like linoleum and screen printing styles, handmade papers, layered collage, foddering, folds, mark-making, and creative surface design. We’ll explore how different tools, mediums, and materials can bring your pages to life in new and unexpected ways.

This class is not tied to any one brand or style. It’s simply about art, curiosity, and making things with your hands.

At Craftinest, every turn of the page becomes art.
