We're so excited to offer this after-school series with local artist Summer J. Hart!

Over the course of two sessions, students will learn to hand bind a hardcover sketchbook using their own decorated paper for covers, just in time for recording summertime adventures.

Session 1: Inside

In this session we will decorate cover paper, sew signatures, and glue mull.

Session 2: Outside

In this session we will cover boards with decorative paper and book cloth, glue down end sheets, and press everything together.

Thursdays 3:30 to 5PM (2 sessions)

May 12 & 19

$50 / participant 

(This workshop series is for kids ages 12+ and anyone who has completed Book Arts I.)

All materials are provided.
