Journal Making Workshop with Gathervale

Journal Making Workshop with Gathervale

When

15 September 2026    
18:30 - 20:15

Slow down, get creative and leave with a journal you’ll love.

Welcome the changing season and join me for an evening of creativity as you transform a beautiful old book into a one-of-a-kind journal.

You’ll create a notebook that’s as beautiful as it is practical – perfect for capturing thoughts, ideas, dreams or everyday moments. It’s grown-up, back to school, new stationery vibes!

What’s included

  • Everything you’ll need to transform a beautiful old book into a unique journal

  • A thoughtfully curated collection of vintage books, papers and materials

  • Step-by-step guidance throughout the evening

  • Use of all tools and equipment

  • Your finished journal to treasure and use

  • A cosy, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere

Is this workshop for me?

Absolutely, if you:

  • Enjoy cosy, creative evenings

  • Want to meet other lovely people in a relaxed setting

  • Haven’t tried bookbinding before (beginners are encouraged!)

  • Fancy doing something different instead of another evening scrolling on the sofa

Many guests come on their own. Gathervale workshops are designed to be warm, welcoming and inclusive. You’ll be made to feel very welcome!
