Japanese Binding & Junk Journaling 2-Day WorkshopJoin us for this creative two-part workshop series held over consecutive sundays, designed to launch your journaling practice for the new year.
Week one: learn the traditional art of japanese stab binding to create a custom journal tailored to your personal style. You'll leave with your handbound journal and seven envelopes for collecting meaningful objects, ephemera, and daily treasures throughout the week ahead. Week two: return with your gathered finds to explore the creative world of junk journaling. We'll incorporate your collected objects using transfer and printmaking techniques, collage, painting, and decorative stitching to bring your journal pages to life. This workshop offers a meaningful way to begin 2026 with an intention toward daily or weekly journaling, transforming everyday moments into a unique artistic record. |

AMANDA WANDER
Amanda Wander earned her BA in Studio Art from Florida State University in 2008. She served as Education Director at LeMoyne from 2004 to 2006 and has exhibited her mixed media collages and assemblages at venues such as LeMoyne and the Gadsden Arts Center. With a diverse skill set spanning photography, printmaking, leatherworking, bookbinding, foundry techniques, and graphic design, she has also taught workshops at LeMoyne and the Thomasville Center for the Arts. Wander's artistic philosophy embraces the idea that "more is better"—a belief she applies through the process of "gilding the lily," continually adding layers and complexity to her work. Her recent creations include artist books and small-scale mixed media collages, reflecting her ongoing exploration of texture, materiality, and narrative. |
