Upcycled Notebook Workshop
Do you like notebooks? Do you like making things out of secondhand materials? Then we have the class for you!
In this workshop led by Candice Conner, you'll learn to make a notebook using mostly secondhand materials. All materials will be supplied, including a pile of ephemera you can peruse for the cover.
We'll also go over what materials you need for making spiral notebooks - both how to get the materials new and secondhand.
You'll walk away with a cute little notebook, instructions on how to make a notebook on your own, and a newfound addiction to all things secondhand (if you already didn't have that).

Candice Conner is a self-proclaimed secondhand addict. Most of the things in her house are sourced from secondhand venues, including a vast array of paper products and ephemera. In 2022, she bought a spiral binding machine to make notebooks out of said paper products and ephemera. And the rest, as they say, is history. You can keep up with her notebook creations and where she's selling next on Instagram - @secondhandawesomness
When not making notebooks, you can find her taking photos of people's faces with Oomphotography or performing as Andrina Siren for the most epic puppet band in the galaxy - Reverend Punch Fizz and the Congregation.
For teens and adults 13 and up.
