Have you ever bound a book?

Let me tell you - it is so satisfying! Once you've bound one book, you'll realize there are so many more possibilities. By changing one or two things, you will make a completely different book. Whether it's for a journal, a photo book or an artist's sketch book, you can let your creativity soar. 

 Once you start binding books, your friends will be amazed and want their own. You can start your own little bindery or send them to register in this course so you can have "binding dates"! 

 We are going to make a fun "art" journal in this class, not venture into any fine binding techniques.

This hands-on class will guide you through the basics of bookbinding, from selecting materials to mastering the fundamental techniques required to create a unique and personal journal. You'll learn how to choose the right paper, fold your folios, and sew them together with ease. Our step-by-step approach ensures you'll have the confidence to make a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing journal that's perfect for documenting all your adventures. 

 Not only will you leave the course with a beautiful, self-made travel journal, but you'll also possess the skills to craft more journals for any occasion.

The Criss Cross Coptic Binding....

makes a beautiful handbound book that can be filled with many different types of paper. It features decorative stitching along the spine that adds interest to an already beautiful book. 

And when it opens, it lies flat.

This class is beginner friendly!

Bookbinding = paper + thread + boards.

But it is so much more! You may have already tried bookbinding and found how many things can go wrong when you're starting out. I've taken all the frustration out the process, so you can concentrate on making a beautiful book.
