Need a low-pressure creative night? Trade scrolling for scissors, glue, paper scraps, and a warm drink. ☕✂️📖

Join us for a Junk Journaling Workshop where we’ll experiment with collage using reclaimed materials, patterned papers, cut up magazines, maps, stamps, ribbons, and more.

You’ll leave with:
- New ideas
- Finished pages
- Inspiration
- The urge to start hoarding interesting papers (occupational hazard)

Unfortunately, we need to cancel our upcoming Visible Mending Workshop due to instructor illness.

We know many of you were looking forward to learning visible mending techniques and spending a creative evening together, and we’re disappointed to have to make this announcement.

All registered participants will receive a full refund automatically and have been contacted directly.

We appreciate your understanding and hope to offer this workshop again in the future. 🧵

Thank you for supporting Milford Makes and our creative community.
