About this Event

Learn the basics of a hardcover case-in while you create your own hardcover journal or address book! Students will receive guided instruction on how to create a hardcover "case" and attach a text block of their choosing. No sewing required! Select your cover materials, text block (lined journal - or - address book), to create a book that's uniquely yours!

This is a "make and take" class - students will create one (1) handcrafted book to take home! Finished hardcover books will measure approximately 6in x 8.5in. No prior experience is required.

Students can direct any/all questions about this class to the instructor, Dana, via email: [email protected]
