In an unprecedented blend of glitz, glamour, and glue, Potchefstroom will host its first-ever National Scrapbook Day (NSD) on February 3, 2024. With a theme as fabulous as "Fabulous & Glamorous at the Oscars," attendees will undoubtedly revel in a day dedicated to creativity, community, and couture.
An Inclusive Affair
Contrary to its name, the event will not exclusively cater to scrapbookers. Crafters specializing in Bible journaling, junk journaling, art journaling, greeting cards, and mixed media will also find their niche here. The initiative aims to unify artisans of all genres, while also focusing on the tranquility and well-being that crafting can bring to the soul.
A Day Packed with Inspiration
From 08:30 to 16:00, the venue, which will be confirmed at a later date, will be bustling with activity. Attendees will be greeted with goody bags containing a small project they can complete on the day or take home. A series of demos will also be showcased, providing guests with ample opportunities to pick up new skills or hone existing ones. Coffee or tea and lunch are included in the price.
How to Secure Your Spot
Interested individuals should act fast, as spaces are limited. Tickets are priced at R400.00 per person. Payment will be accepted in four equal installments, with the first serving as a deposit to secure your spot. RSVPs can be made via email at nsdpotch@gmail.com or by telephone at 083-456-7720.
A Moment to Preserve
Scrapbooking, at its core, is a method of preserving, presenting, and arranging personal and family history. Through the medium of books, boxes, or cards, crafters incorporate photographs, printed media, and artwork into creations that become lasting memorabilia. In the case of National Scrapbook Day, not only will participants take home a physical product, but they will also carry with them the invaluable experiences and connections that can only be formed through a shared love for creativity.
National Scrapbook Day in Potchefstroom will not just be an event; it will be a gathering of like-minded individuals committed to craft and community. Mark your calendars, prepare your crafting kits, and get ready for a day that promises to be as fabulous and glamorous as the Oscars themselves.
