Leather Journal Workshop + Charm Bar Experience
The workshop takes place at the cozy creative studio Nova Studio in the heart of downtown Los Altos — a bright, aesthetic space designed for creativity, inspiration, and slow, meaningful connection.
⠀
What to expect:
⠀
📖 Create your own leather journal from scratch
Inspired by the French brand Louise Carmen aesthetic — you’ll choose the shape and color, punch the holes, assemble the binding system, and finish the edges so it feels polished and smooth to the touch.
⠀
🪬 Charm bar experience
A curated station with 100+ charms and beads made of natural stones, glass, and ceramic — choose your symbols and turn your journal into a personal piece with meaning and story.
⠀
✨ A chance to slow down
We’ll talk about creativity as a way to reset — how working with your hands helps you slow down, clear your mind, and reconnect with yourself. We’ll also talk about the 2026 “analog year” trend.
⠀
How you can use your journal:
• journaling (thoughts, morning pages, diary)
• sketches & creative ideas (drawings, collages)
• planning (to-do lists, weekly spreads, bullet journal)
