A journal is the perfect way to record what happens throughout the year in your garden. Using found papers and natural elements Rachel will show you how to make a journal which is both beautiful and useful📙

Rachel has been running print making workshops for children and adults since 2005. She usually holds workshops at her studio in Rochester High Street but since 2020 has taken a lot of them online. Techniques taught include screen printing, linocut, Gelli printing and cyanotype. Rachel likes to demystify printmaking and tries to show how, with just a few common items and cheats, you can create fabulous prints.
