Junk Journaling Club is a place to gather with other journalers, spread out your materials, and enjoy a couple of unhurried hours of creative time.
Bring a journal you’re already working in or begin something new. There is no instructor, organized project, or planned lesson. Everyone will work independently while enjoying the company, ideas, and creative energy of others around the table.
Your registration also gives you access to Handcraft Revival’s collection of shared junk-journaling supplies during the club meeting.
What Is Junk Journaling?
A junk journal is a handmade or altered book filled with collected papers, photographs, notes, envelopes, fabric scraps, tickets, drawings, found materials, and anything else that holds visual or personal interest.
Your journal might become:
- A creative record of everyday life
- A travel or seasonal journal
- A place to collect family photographs and memories
- An art journal for experimenting with color and composition
- A home for favorite papers, quotations, lists, and found objects
- A completely unplanned collection that develops over time
There is no single correct way to make one.
Shared Supplies
Participants may use our rotating collection of shared junk-journaling materials during the club. You are also welcome to bring supplies to add to our community collection. Available supplies may include:
- Decorative and found papers
- Book pages and sheet music
- Fabric and ribbon scraps
- Stamps and ink
- Paper punches and cutting tools
- Washi tape and adhesives
- Envelopes, tags, labels, and pockets
- Shared ephemera and collage materials
The supply collection will change over time as materials are contributed, collected, and used.
What to Bring
Please bring your own journal or book to work in. This might be a handmade journal, sketchbook, notebook, altered book, or another suitable surface.
You’re also encouraged to bring personal materials you would enjoy incorporating, such as:
- Photographs or photocopies
- Letters, recipes, or handwritten notes
- Ticket stubs and travel papers
- Magazine clippings
- Fabric scraps
- Old cards or envelopes
- Small pieces of meaningful ephemera
Please make copies of anything irreplaceable before cutting or attaching it to your journal.

CLASS FAQs
Do I need prior experience?
Most classes are beginner-friendly unless the listing says otherwise. Each class page includes information about the intended skill level and any experience you’ll need.
What is included with registration?
Each listing explains which materials and tools are included. If you need to bring anything or purchase additional supplies, that information will be clearly noted.
What ages can attend?
Age guidelines vary by class and are listed in the class details. Some adult classes welcome younger participants when accompanied by a registered adult. Please contact us before registering if you’re unsure whether a class is a good fit.
How do I register?
Advance registration is required unless the event is specifically described as a drop-in gathering. Your seat is reserved once checkout is complete and you receive a confirmation email.
Can I register more than one person?
Yes. Please purchase one seat for each participant unless the listing states otherwise. When possible, include each participant’s name during booking.
What happens if Handcraft Revival cancels a class?
If we need to cancel a class, all registered participants will be contacted directly and offered a refund or store credit.
What if a class does not meet minimum enrollment?
Handcraft Revival and the instructor will decide together whether to proceed. If the class is canceled, registered participants will be contacted directly.
Where should I park?
Street parking is available around the shop. Please allow a few extra minutes to find parking and arrive before class begins.
What if I arrive late?
Please arrive a few minutes early so class can begin on time. If you’re running late, contact the shop when possible. Because many classes begin with important demonstrations or safety information, we may not always be able to restart missed instruction.
Are classes accessible?
Yes. We want our classes to be as welcoming and accessible as possible. Handcraft Revival has a ramp at the entrance and an accessible restroom. If you have any other mobility, sensory, learning, or accommodation needs, please contact us before class so we can discuss how best to support your participation.
Can I bring food or drinks?
Covered drinks are welcome unless a class listing says otherwise. For longer classes, the listing will let you know whether to bring a snack or meal.
Photos and short video clips may be taken during class for Handcraft Revival’s social media and marketing. If you or your child prefer not to be photographed, please let us know at arrival. We are happy to accommodate your preference.
