These blank books make for excellent journals, ledgers, sketchbooks, and unique gifts for any occasion.
The course will offer handouts to provide further exploration of the book arts, including resources for other binding techniques, places to find affordable materials, and opportunities to advance their skills.
Participants will walk away with 5-6 different books at the end of the session.
