2025_06_18 BASE Create & Sip: Junk Journals

Create & Sip is a monthly workshop hosted at Brushwood Center where participants can explore fun projects using supplies and tools from the Brushwood Art Supply Exchange, BASE. It’s an opportunity to get creative, try something new, and enjoy the company of fellow art enthusiasts in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

This month’s class will be led by June's Artist of the Month, Magdelena Kranc Velazquez, who will teach us to make Junk Journals. You can also see Magdelena's work displayed in the Brushwood Center Gallery from May 31 – June 28.

We’ll have a variety of supplies and tools available. Everyone’s project will be unique. No experience necessary, all skill levels are welcome.
