To learn the ancient art of bookbinding can take up to 14 years of apprenticeship.  At the end of that, of course, you are very, very good,

But it is possible to make very satisfying books with a lot less training.  I can show you how.

      This could be you!

I can do demonstrations for several dozen people, or hands-on workshops for 10.   Topics range from paper-making and marbling through simple soft-cover pamphlets to multiple signature, hard-bound books.  Whatever you choose.

A very popular workshop is "How to make a hard-cover". The cover can be put on a paperback, around scrapbook pages, a year's worth of school papers, or blank pages to form a journal.  The technique can be adapted to any size or material and opens the doors to a wide range of creative projects.

Whether it is a PTA meeting, Girl Scout camp, book promotion or Art Center program, your event can be enlivened by an exploration of the book arts.

Call to discuss the possibilities.  Have sewing frame, will travel.
