Liz Homer
Liz Homer creates hand-stitched journals from vintage and upcycled materials. A lifelong journalist and memory keeper, she crafts books that hold space for new stories while honoring the histories embedded in aged papers and textiles.
Guided by her love of vintage ephemera, Liz designs journals as functional heirlooms—beautiful vessels for reflection, writing, and creativity. She hopes they inspire connection and spark imagination.
For 24 years, Liz worked as a professional photographer, hand-painting portraits and assembling wedding albums by hand. After retiring, she began making journals for herself and, with encouragement from her family, expanded her practice to share them with others.
Liz wants each journal to feel deeply personal—inviting touch, reflection, and memory-making.
At age 50, Liz began a new chapter as a Special Education ESP in the Asbury Park School District. She considers this role a blessing that inspires both gratitude and creativity.
Such a fun date night. Very helpful and friendly staff. I also bought some prints to bring home. Can't wait to go again soon.
Had a lovely time here with my partner. I love the concept of the place. We especially appreciated that there were art projects available for a variety of skill levels. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. The attached art supply thrift store is very cool too.
Had such an amazing time with my daughter!! So many options for us to choose from. Staff are also encouraging and support you at any skill level :-)
I hosted a small get together for my daughter’s tenth birthday and I couldn’t be happier.
The staff was kind, patient and encouraging. They truly made all of the girls feel comfortable and supported, helping them bring their ideas to life.
I especially loved that each child created something completely unique!
We recently held a team-building event at Asbury Park Art Club and had a fantastic experience. The venue has a cool, artsy seaside vibe and aesthetic that sets a creative tone. Our small group of 7 made Découpage Seashells, which is a seasonal project. Karen and her staff were very attentive throughout the process, providing guidance to our group and ensuring we had everything we needed. It’s the perfect space for a small group seeking a unique experience.
What a wonderful little gem in Asbury Park. We made our crafts and had plenty of encouragement from the owner and staff. I highly recommend this place for a fun afternoon with kids (and not so little kids!)
Local art for sale, art thrift shop & an Art cafe! What a fabulous place! Can’t wait to return with my friends to create our own art!
Read what others are saying - or, if you’ve joined us for an art project, event, or just some spontaneous shopping, we’d love to hear from you.

Had such a fun afternoon crafting with my kids! Jeanette and Skyla were super helpful and knowledgeable. The local art for sale and the art supply thrift shop are fun to see and browse too!
