In this program, one person's trash is another person's craft! This is a twist on scrapbooking, in which the journaler collects junk (receipts, tags, tickets, labels, produce stickers, magazine cut-outs, or whatever other flat item), then makes art out of the items by arranging, then gluing or taping and adding other mediums (sketching, painting, writing, etc.) All materials will be provided, including scrap materials, journals and snacks. No registration is required. This program is for teens ages 13-18.
