Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨

This week Meg is joined by Ian from @ThePaperSparrow to chat about using journaling as a mindful creative practice, the joy of running a journaling club to build creative community, and Ian's collection of Kaweco fountain pens! Join us for this crafternoon full of stationery supplies and create in your journal - and as Ian says, let the paper fulfil its destiny!

Ian is an avid journal keeper and analogue enthusiast. Having fallen into the journaling habit during lockdown, Ian discovered the practice of journaling was a great creative outlet for recording ideas, emotions and the simple joys of everyday life. Knowing the beneficial impact journal keeping can have on mental health from personal experience, he hopes to encourage others into exploring this useful tool to express and reflect.

Ian hosts a monthly Journal Club at Hunter Paper Co, Northern Ireland’s leading independent stationery store. The Journal Club is a collective of new and seasoned journalers who get together to share a few creative and fun hours.
