Tutor: Fiona, of Fizz Designs Arts and Crafts
Junk journalling can be traced back to the 19 th century when people began creating scrapbooks filled with keepsakes like pressed flowers, notes, and ticket stubs. It then evolved in order to allow space for notes to be added to the pages.
Today the creation of junk journals has become a craft in itself, and not to just a means to record your memories.
In this class Fiona will help you form a basic junk journal. Showing you how to layer your pages to create decorative themes for each one, you will learn how to create pockets for your journal - in which to add and store keepsakes.
For this event, Fiona will show you how to make a journal out of envelopes, and how each envelope becomes it’s own page with pockets.
You will have access to a plethora of materials which you can use to decorate your journals, but you may also bring with you items you wish to include in your creation.
Tea & Coffee available throughout the day for a small donation.
If a workshop you'd like to do is fully booked ring Box Office (01805 624624) to be added to the waiting list, you might be lucky! This also helps us ascertain the demand for particular workshops when programming.

About Fiona West and Fizz Designs Arts and Crafts.
Fiona has nearly 30-years’ experience as a Training and Development specialist, having run training departments in both the music industry and the museum sector in
the UK.
Alongside this she is a lifelong crafter and artist, having sold her works since 2019.
In 2025 she decided to focus, full-time, on her business: Fizz Designs Arts and Crafts and now spends her days selling her creations at local markets, retail outlets
and craft fairs and running craft classes.
Fiona is an advocate for lifelong learning and believes that everyone has a craft within them – just not everyone has discovered what that craft is. She therefore
encourages people to “have a go” at a craft and to learn whether that subject is the one to unlock their creativity.
She runs all her classes with one key objective in mind: to learn whilst having fun; and she guarantees that everyone will have something to take away from the class
(their new creation and memories of an enjoyable day).
