Ranger Workshop with Dina
Altered Black Journal
June 12-14, 2026
Join me for a weekend workshop at Ranger Headquarters!
We are going to take a black Dina Wakley journal (the one with all the fun substrates) and alter it to turn it into a masterpiece. We’ll create two internal mini journals inside, using paints, gloss, collage, beads, fibers, and fabrics.
Workshop Location:
Ranger Headquarters, 15 Park Rd, Tinton Falls, NJ 07724
The closest hotel is Sonesta Select Tinton Falls, which is 5-minute walk to Ranger.
