Book Arts 18+

Book design is something that is largely forgotten today, it is a craft often taken for granted. It involves methods and rules that have been developed over centuries. This class consists of a series of four classes, each building on the last. We will work on exercises and follow steps to make our own handmade book. This course is designed for beginners. Your registration covers all four sessions. Come explore all this wonderful craft has to offer. This class is $60 a person, all supplies are included. This class is limited to participants 18 & up.
