Mabon Journal Making: Create, Bind & Reflect

Hand-bound journal making, reflection and seasonal prompts. You will learn the basics of bookbinding, leaving with your own handmade journal Greet the turning of the season and prepare for the inward spiral by your own personalised journal or sketchbook. You will learn the basics of simple bookbinding, handpick inner papers and decorate the cover inspired by Mabon and the autumn harvest. Along the way, we'll explore seasonal journaling prompts and gentle ways to use your journal for reflection, gratitude, creativity and setting intentions for the darker months ahead. You'll leave with your own handmade journal and a collection of prompts to continue your practice at home. This workshop is part of our day event of workshops - Mabon: A Day of Making & Magic Gather with us as we celebrate Mabon - the Autumn Equinox - a time of harvest, gratitude, balance and turning inward as the days begin to grow darker. This will be a day of making, reflecting and connecting with the season through three creative workshops. We will start of by creating our own journals (or sketchbooks), and reflect on the wisdom of Mabon through prompts, then we will explore the ancient tradition of lost-wax jewellery making, creating our own talismans, and finally we will design unique fabric patches inspired by the colours, symbols and abundance of Mabon and autumn. Whether you join us for the whole day or one or two workshops, we look forward to creating with you!
