Ivystar Workshop for Students

Private Workshop: Junk Journaling & Dreaming of Our Future

Part art, part reflection, part daydream, this workshop is a creative journaling session for students who want to explore who they are and what comes next. We'll cut, collage, write, and imagine the kind of future we want to grow into.

Maybe it's about college. Maybe it's about the life you hope to live. Or maybe it's just about slowing down and noticing what makes you who you are.

You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind journal, a few new ideas, and that good feeling of creating something with your own hands.

Who it’s for: Ambitious students who like to make things, set goals, and are ready to design their own future. No art skills needed.

What you’ll need: We’ll bring all the supplies. Bring any mementos, stickers, stationery you'd like to use.

Duration: 120 minutes

Ivystar Workshop for Adults (In-Person)

A creative journaling workshop for busy adults who spend their days solving problems and helping others, but rarely take time for themselves. Slow down, pause, and make something that’s just for you.

Ivystar adult workshop

Private Workshop for Adults

A creative space for adults who want to slow down, pause, and rediscover the simple joy of making things by hand.

We'll spread out papers, stickers, ticket stubs, and old keepsakes, all the little things you have been saving but never knew what to do with, and turn them into something personal.

You can collage, write, decorate, or simply play with ideas. It is a relaxed way to unwind, share stories, and make something that feels like you.

You'll leave with a journal and maybe something more, a new idea, a sense of calm, or that spark of inspiration you didn't know you needed.

Who it’s for: Adults who want to pause, get creative, and spend meaningful time connecting with others.

What we provide: All supplies and good energy. You just bring yourself and any scraps or mementos you’d like to use.

Duration: 120 minutes
