September 11: Decorate Your Own Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen Workshop

Create a one-of-a-kind writing companion in this fun, hands-on fountain pen decorating workshop! Each attendee will receive a Pilot Kakuno fountain and begin by selecting their preferred pen color and nib size to suit their writing style. Once you've chosen your pen, you'll have the rest of the time to use a wide assortment of decorative embellishments to decorate your pen. Mix and match gems, charms, stickers, and other creative accents to transform your fountain pen into a unique work of art.

No prior crafting experience is necessary, all materials and tools will be provided, along with guidance and inspiration throughout the workshop. Whether you prefer a cute, elegant, whimsical, or bold design, you'll leave with a customized Pilot Kakuno fountain pen that's both beautiful and functional. You’ll want to bring any additional elements you may want to attach to your pen.

September 18: Atlas x Global Solutions Wax Seal Workshop with Cathy Simon

              Discover the art of creating beautiful wax seals using traditional wick sealing wax. In this hands-on workshop, Cathy will guide participants through the process of melting and pouring vegan sealing wax sticks before creating custom wax seals suitable for journals, letters, gift wrapping, handmade cards, and creative projects.

              Along the way, you'll learn professional tips and tricks, including how to reduce carbon residue in your wax, rescue and reuse imperfect seals, achieve cleaner impressions, and create consistently beautiful results. Participants will have the opportunity to practice multiple techniques and leave with a collection of finished wax seals and the confidence to continue creating at home.

Safety Notice: This workshop involves the use of an open flame. Participants will be lighting wick sealing wax with a lighter and working with hot, melted wax. By purchasing a ticket and attending this workshop, participants acknowledge these inherent risks and agree to follow all safety instructions provided during the event. Participants must exercise caution while handling flame and hot materials. Participants must be 18+ or accompanied by a parent/guardian.

September 25: Make a Zine Junk Journal Workshop

Create a tiny zine and transform it into a unique addition to your junk journal during this creative, hands-on workshop. A zine (pronounced "zeen") is a miniature self-published booklet that can be filled with artwork, journaling, lists, memories, collage, poetry, or anything else that inspires you. We'll begin by learning how to fold and create a simple one-sheet mini zine before exploring different ways to personalize it using collage materials, papers, stickers, stamps, and ephemera.

Each attendee will receive a curated pack of coordinating supplies, plus a library card-style pocket that can be incorporated directly into a junk journal spread to hold and display their finished zine. Whether you use your zine to tell a story, document a favorite memory, create a themed collage, or simply experiment with creativity, you'll leave with a crafted zine and plenty of ideas for future zine-making projects.

This workshop is perfect for journalers, paper crafters, and anyone looking for a relaxing afternoon of creativity and community. Bring your favorite junk journal and get ready to create a one-of-a-kind interactive spread.

You’ll want to bring your junk journal for this event!
