In this beginner friendly workshop, we will be hand making a leather notebook with reclaimed leather, an assortment of paper, and some funky hardware. During the workshop, we will learn about the history of leather work within Indigenous communities including the ways hides have played a significant part in keeping Indigenous communities alive. Participants will get to work with a variety of coloured leather, handpicked hardware, and an array of colourful thread and customize their book with rivets, eyelets and other fun materials.
We will go through the process of making your book by hand through different types of paper folding and binding techniques. You will a pattern and learn how to bind in different ways—all while learning how to safely work with leather tools. You will also receive a zine with a step-by-step guide on how to make the notebook of your choosing and a few small tools that you can take home with you!
By the end of the workshop, you will have made your very own handmade leather notebook—and have the knowledge to make more!
