New! Dive into the rich history of bookbinding and master essential techniques passed down through generations. From understanding paper grain to perfecting your stitching, you will gain skills that connect you to centuries of artisans. Choose your own cover type, design, spine color, and paper style, and leave with three booklets to take home. Cover pages are handmade and use botanicals from the Garden. Option to add a personalization via a “book tattoo” on either the book or a leather bookmark, provided by tattoo artist Sonja for an additional $25 (payment made during class). All levels welcome. All supplies included.
