Join Chauncey Foster of we.grow.eco in this exclusive 3-hour workshop to create a one-of-a-kind journal using upcycled paper waste and locally sourced cotton textile waste.

Chauncey will guide you through the building, binding, and design process, ensuring each journal is as unique as its maker.

In celebration of the holiday season, participants will have access to we.grow.eco’s handmade cotton paper, available only twice a year during select workshops. This special paper, crafted from upcycled cotton textiles, will fill your custom journal, making it a perfect holiday gift or personal keepsake.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, this workshop offers a hands-on experience in sustainable art that blends creativity with eco-conscious practices. Don’t miss this opportunity to make something truly special!

Please bring any scrap paper you would like to include in your holiday journals!
