Follow step-by-step demonstrations and surprise yourself by learning new skills. You will make a carefully crafted journal from scratch choosing from a range of colourful papers and adding your own special details. It’s fun to include inserts, pull-outs, envelopes, flaps and recycled materials to reflect your personality and interests. You will be proud to take home your unique book and can continue to add more words and images in the months to come.

About Hazel Garrity
Hazel’s chief enthusiasms have always been words, books and making things. As a secondary school English teacher, she has worked with young people to give them the confidence to be creative with language. Now she wants to explore the possibilities offered by combining words with the traditional craft of constructing books in different forms and expressing ideas in different ways.
