Do you love books? Do you adore tiny things? Join me in this class where we make miniature sketchbooks together and develop our bookbinding skills.

In this class, we’ll learn how to create four different kinds of tiny books, from no-stitch and no-glue accordion fold books to perfect-bound books, and stitched books including the beautiful Coptic-Bound books. We’ll also include delightful accessories like covers, bellybands, bookmarks and wrap-around enclosures (and if you don’t know what any of this means, you soon will!).

You’ll learn how to:

• Make miniature books from whatever paper you have available
• Create stunning book covers to make your tiny treasures shine
• Accessorise your books with bellybands or wrap-around enclosures and bookmarks

You don’t need any experience with bookbinding to take this class; I will take you through each technique step by step to help you find the approach that’s right for you. And by working small, we take the pressure off allowing you to create playfully without the stress that larger projects can sometimes bring.

By the end of this class, you will have created a miniature sketchbook that is uniquely yours, having learned how to bind it, and accessorise it in a way that really speaks to you. 

Maybe you’ll want to keep your little book(s) for a sketchbook, scrapbook, or junk journal. Perhaps you’ll give it as a gift to a loved one, or make a whole bunch of them and use them as party or wedding favors!

So let’s do this – see you in class!
