This engaging, beginner-friendly workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore the timeless craft of bookbinding in a welcoming, hands-on environment. Over the course two 2 hour sessions, attendees will be introduced to the basic tools and foundational techniques needed to create their own custom journal. Through step-by-step instruction, participants will learn how to prepare and bind their pages, gaining both practical skills and a deeper appreciation for the artistry of handmade books. By the end of the workshop, each person will take home a beautifully crafted journal of their own making, perfect for writing, sketching, or gifting.
