Inside JUNK JOURNALING with Peller
2025-11-12 13:00 - 15:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | O’Hanlon Center for the Arts
Junk journaling is a creative and mindful craft that blends scrapbooking and collaging, serving as a heartfelt response to the fleeting nature of digital life. In a world dominated by screens and instant communication, junk journaling invites you to slow down and reconnect with tangible, physical materials—snipping, gluing, and layering to create meaningful art.
By transforming everyday “trash” like parking tickets, luggage tags, ticket stubs, or even pieces of pizza boxes into beautiful collages, you can discover the magic in the overlooked and discarded. It’s a fun challenge to seek out items you might normally toss away and repurpose them into personal journal entries or artistic pieces.
Adopting a collector’s eye encourages mindfulness and observation, inspiring you to notice the small ephemera of daily life—receipts, labels, snippets of wrapping paper—and see them as treasures waiting to be incorporated into your journal.
Join this creative journey to add a little magic and intentionality to your day-to-day life. Embrace the imperfect, the transient, and the beautiful in the ordinary through junk journaling—where one person’s junk becomes another’s treasured story.
Join me in adding a little magic to your day to day.

LOVING THE SATURDAY WORKSHOP
The long-running Visual Perception Workshop is at the heart of O’Hanlon Center. Recently we asked workshop participants for their thoughts.
I love doing art with friends…and then sharing it!
I love that it is a drop-in class and
I don’t have to sign up ahead of time.
I like that I don’t have to know how to do art…
It’s about our own creativity.
It is so much fun.
I love the creative atmosphere. It breeds excitement and enjoyment of the process.
I like the mix of people and their art.
It is free and fun.
I like that I can get into the flow of art and forget the stressful world.
I look forward to stepping into another time and place. It is a magical experience to visit this special piece of land at the foot of Mt Tam.
Being with people who care about art and artists is something I find worthwhile. I feel lucky to have discovered this class. It informs me well beyond 4 hours on Saturday.
This Saturday workshop serves as a tool to open up all of my senses and I come alive.
The setting is gorgeous and serene.
I love Saturday class. I wouldn’t think of missing it. I come every Saturday, and have for years and years.

Perception Workshops Description
The Perception Workshops at O’Hanlon welcome all artists and the art-curious. Rather than focusing on formal principles or strict rules, these workshops emphasize curiosity, exploration, and creative play. They spark imagination by encouraging learning through doing, observation, acceptance, and practice. Participants are supported in taking risks, experimenting freely, and developing their own visual language in an open, encouraging environment.
Each session begins with a simple prompt or exercise. From there, participants may build on their initial ideas or take them in entirely new directions. At the end, the group comes together to share discoveries through looking, reflection, and discussion, celebrating the process as much as the result.
Most materials are provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own.
