Let’s create new journals from old books! (Or even new books).
Using a hard-covered book, you will learn how to successfully deconstruct it by removing the text block.
We will then reinforce the spine and create signatures (groups of papers to form the pages).The signatures are not just any old papers: I have a large selection of carefully curated book pages, maps, sheet music, yearbook photos, and more for you to choose from. And of course you might want to bring some of your own to use or share.
Using a variety of bookbinding tools, I will show you how to stitch in the signatures, and create the inside covers.
Choose a book whose cover you like, as we will not be covering the covers, but rather leaving them as they are, or decorating them.
Once the books are created, I will share my 11 favorite ways to embellish the pages, including pockets, tip-ins, tuck spots, and more.
You will leave this workshop with a true, one-of-a-kind treasure book!
We meet in my Prescott, AZ studio from 9:30am to 12:30pm both days.
There is room for 10 participants, so book your space early as this class is very popular!
Kit fee of $20.00 includes a bookbinding tool kit; lots of special papers for your pages, cardstock, postcards, charms and beads, ribbons, and more!
Directions will be sent upon registration.
