Learn how to make a handmade journal out of an old book
This beginner-friendly class will teach you how to take an old hardcover book (or book cover) that you bring to class and turn it into a one-of-a-kind handmade journal with paper of your choosing.

This two-hour class will include an introduction to handmade books and bookbinding followed by step-by-step guided instruction on how to prepare your book cover, select your papers, and stitch them into the cover to make a beautiful journal. You will also learn more about variations in the stitching method to be able to try different styles on your own in the future.
