Junk Journal Club with Creation Sake by Erika Rose
2026-06-25 18:00 - 21:00
Welcome to Junk Journal Club!
Your cozy, carefree, crafty space for grown ups where we can separate from our screens and have a fun, creative afternoon! This is our place to stop the scroll, calm the overwhelm of ideas, and start creating.
This space is perfect for seasoned junk-journal-ers who are looking for a cool community to co-create with, as well as folks who are curious about junk journaling but aren’t sure where to begin! We meet you where you are, regardless of experience, and help you lean into creation for creation sake.
Join local artist Erika Rose (the owner of Creation Sake) at Divine Barrel for a carefree crafting session where you will learn what junk journaling is, have the opportunity to play with a variety of upcycled crafting materials, and meet new and fun crafty friends!
All skill levels are welcome & all materials will be provided (a blank journal, various collage materials, stickers, markers, crayons, etc.) & you are encouraged (but not required!) to bring any of your own “junk” that you would like to add to your new journal spreads! Junk could be things like: concert/event tickets, receipts, photos, travel brochures, the possibilities are ENDLESS with junk journaling, y’all. ENDLESS.
In June, we celebrate my favorite, Summerween! Expect spooky ephemera, horror sticker books, witchy realness, and the classic orange, black, and purple halloween vibes.
Themes are ALWAYS optional, you can come and participate in the themes, or you can vibe with whatever creative ideas are in your mind. At Creation Sake, we stand by creating simply for the sake of it; we do not have to have a goal, but we have found that sometimes, having a theme helps calm the overwhelm.
Tickets are tiered for accessibility, so here’s the breakdown! Keep in mind, this event is 18+!
$25- recommended ticket tier
$35- our pay-it-forward tier that helps provide the accessibility tier, as well as monthly ticket giveaways
$15- our accessibility tier; times are hard out here, y’all, and we really wanted to find a way to make creative safe spaces accessible to more folks
Junk Journal Club is a creative space for grown ups (ages 18+)

How it works:

Bring your own sketchbook and your favorite drawing tools.

We start with a 10-minute drawing prompt.

When time's up, we swap sketchbooks and draw in someone else's.

Repeat with new prompts every 10 minutes—for about 2 hours.

Sticker Club: Stick It Like It's Hot
2026-07-13 18:00 - 21:00
It’s summer in North Carolina, and we’re overheated. Come hydrate and make sticker crafts with us in the glorious air-conditioning of Divine Barrel. This one is summer camp/pool party vibezzz.

WHAT DOES ONE DO AT A STICKER CLUB FOR GROWN-ASS ADULTS?

Omg, thank you so much for asking.

We live, we laugh, and we put stickers on shit. We’ll provide abundant stickers, plus fun options for your base, like journals, bookmarks, and postcards. Plus, fun sticker surprises and giveaways every month!

We’re meeting at Divine Barrel, the arts & silliness hub of Charlotte’s brewery scene. Feel free to grab a drink while we’re there to support our besties!

FAQs:

CAN MY KID COME?

This is Sticker Club for Grown-Ass Adults, so unless your child is 18 or over, no, they cannot join.

CAN I BRING MY OWN STICKERS?

You’re welcome to BYOS, but if you’re not looking to share with the group, make sure that you protect them with your life. Our sticker events get chaotic in the best way, and we can’t promise your stickers won’t try to join the madness.

CAN I BRING MY OWN THING-TO-STICK-STICKERS-ON?

Absolutely. Please bring something extra weird. We’re so excited to see it. THAT SAID, we cannot allow reusable sticker books/sticker transfer paper because a) the entire point of Sticker Club is to release the sticker anxiety of our youths and actually stick stickers, not save them, and b) we’ve noticed that reusable sticker book folks use 3-5x more stickers than folks who are sticker-spamming/sticker-bombing/whatever-you-want-to-call-this, and we just can’t financially accommodate that rate of consumption. Anyone who’s been to Sticker Club can attest that we are VERY generous with our massive sticker collection, but we do have to keep parameters in place to make this venture financially sustainable. If you’ve brought a reusable sticker book previously, please do not bring one in the future. Thank yooou!

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN?

Our sticker collection ain’t cheap, y’all, and we keep it fresh for you, but we also know that everything costs $1 million these days, so we have options for you:

$15 Covers the cost of the materials we bring to Sticker Club
$25 Covers the cost of the materials we bring to Sticker Club and the loving work we put into planning and organizing for Sticker Club events
$35 Covers all of the above, plus helps fund monthly sticker surprises and free ticket giveaways on Instagram

ETHEL MESERVE w/Late Bloomer, Group Therapy
2026-07-16 18:30 - 23:00
ETHEL MESERVE, pioneers of mid-1990s math rock and emo scenes, live at Divine Barrel Brewing on Thursday July 16th with special guests Late Bloomer & Group Therapy.

Emo and math rock pioneers ETHEL MESERVE are stopping in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday, July 16th to hit the stage at Divine Barrel Brewing! Fresh off a Japan tour alongside Numero Records labelmates Jejune and the Album Leaf, Ethel Meserve is touring the southeast United States this summer. Catch them in Charlotte alongside local legends Late Bloomer (Self Aware Records) on a special tour stop at Divine Barrel Brewing. All ages, all are welcome.
About Ethel Meserve
Ethel Meserve were pioneers of the mid-1990s math rock and emo scenes. Renowned for their intricate guitar-driven soundscapes, raw and emotional vocals, and complex percussion, they brought an unforgettable energy to their live performances. Named after a local shop owner in their hometown of State College, PA, the band’s songwriting served as a crucial link between math rock, “first-wave” emo, and the melodic, vibrant energy of the late-90s midwest emo wave. Their consistent summer touring took them across the country, including a legendary 1997 run with Braid and The Get Up Kids. Their final show took place in 1998 alongside At The Drive-In and Lazarus Plot at Chicago’s iconic Fireside Bowl.
The band debuted with a highly sought-after four-song cassette demo in 1995. In 1996, they followed with the “Pierman”/“Paladin Taim” 7-inch (Tree Records) and the Tamsen/Onward Foster 7-inch (Caulfield Records) before working again with Tree for their 1997 full-length debut, “The Milton Abandonment”. They also appeared on numerous compilation albums. Their sophomore release, Spelling the Names, was released by Tree in 2000. New York Magazine‘s Vulture listed their track “Waltz of Gibraltar” among the 100 most influential emo songs of all time, further cementing the band’s legacy in the genre’s history.
In 2025 the band announced that they had reunited with Tree Records founder Ken Shipley as part of his Numero Group label, which re-issued their demo as a 2×7-inch and included their song “Calba’s Last” as part of a bonus 7-inch in their Grammy-nominated Sequoia release.
The band reunited for live shows in 2026, including a sold-out tour of Japan with Numero labelmates Jejune and the Album Leaf. The band hopes to play more shows and release new music in the future.
