Class Description
This leather bookbinding class will show you how to make a one-of-a-kind, unusual handmade book with a leather cover, using natural papers, unusual embellishments, and vintage ephemera. The general format of binding a book will be taught but at the same time the process will allow each student the opportunity and freedom to add their own creative touches to their book. No previous experience needed, and each student will leave with at least one handmade leatherbound book.
