A LITTLE BOOK OF BOO | Halloween Foldout Junk Journal & Cider Night
Halloween Foldout Junk Journal & Cider Night
Join Dip Into Art, LLC at Wild Hare Cider Tasting Room for a special Beyond the Canvas creative get-together—with Cousins Maine Lobster Truck on-site, too!
During this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll transform three envelopes into a charming Halloween foldout junk journal. The envelopes connect to form an interactive accordion-style journal while also creating built-in pockets for holding tags, journaling cards, keepsakes, and other little treasures.
When folded, your finished journal will measure approximately 6½ inches wide by 4¾ inches tall—a perfectly petite size for displaying, gifting, or filling with your favorite Halloween memories.
You’ll decorate the front cover and interior panels, add a small handmade booklet, and fill your journal with specially prepared Halloween ephemera, vintage-inspired papers, labels, pockets, tags, trims, and embellishments.
No two journals will look exactly alike! You’ll receive guidance and plenty of inspiration while choosing the pieces and arrangements that speak to your own creative style.

In the second session, you'll build confidence with beginner-friendly techniques, including washes, color mixing, glazing, brush control, and layering.
The series concludes with a guided landscape painting inspired by the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley, using the very paints you made during the first class.

Ghosts of Paintings Past: Spooky Old Canvas Workshop
Give an old painting a delightfully spooky second life!
Join Dip Into Art, LLC at Clermont Farm for a creative afternoon inside the historic kitchen of the Clermont Farmhouse. Each participant will receive a pre-loved painted canvas and transform it by adding whimsical Halloween details such as ghosts, spiderwebs, pumpkins, bats, spooky little friends, and other fall-inspired touches.
No two paintings will be exactly alike, which makes this workshop especially fun. You’ll be encouraged to work with the scene already on your canvas and make it completely your own. Prefer cute over creepy? Absolutely. Traditional fall colors will be available, along with a pink ghost option for anyone who wants a softer, playful twist.
Images shown are for inspiration and reference only. Each pre-loved canvas will be different, and your finished design will be uniquely yours.
