JOURNAL MAKING WORKSHOP WITH SARAH REIMER

This workshop centers the creative process, the act of making something with our own hands, connecting with ourselves, and connecting with others as we work alongside each other.  We will begin with a guided meditation to center ourselves in the space with intention, then Sarah will teach the Japanese Stab Binding method to create our own beautiful handbound journals.  You do not need to bring any supplies or have any prior experience; Sarah will provide all the materials, including paper handmade locally, and she will offer pointers and assistance as needed.  This is a social activity, light-hearted and fun–a great way to enjoy the morning and meet new friends.  Once we’ve finished binding our journals, we'll use the remaining time to decorate and personalize the covers--perhaps cutting and gluing extra scraps of handmade paper, stamping with ink the natural textures of leaves and shells, or using other stamps or pens.  You are welcome to bring a few of your own materials.  Sarah will provide some journal prompts to tuck or glue inside.  This workshop is open to everyone regardless of age, gender, or whether you consider yourself “creative”.  Let’s get together, enjoy the process, and connect.
