About this Event
Looking for just the right inspiration for writing or drawing? Join Big River Bindery's Andrew Huot for a day making a book filled inside and out with decorative and Heritage Japanese papers. Each set of pages in this hardcover book will be separated by colourful, decorative Heritage Washi .
In this workshop, you'll learn traditional methods of hard-cover book construction, so you can make more at home. Finished book, 5 x 7"
This workshop is beginner friendly! All paper, tools, and other supplies will be provided*.
