About sproutspress

As a bookbinder and artist, I like to live in a fairly analog world. I bind books by hand, with a needle and thread, I paint, draw. You get the idea. I blog about bookbinding, paper arts, crafting and other bookish goodness.

Studio Sunday (on a Monday)

Have you taken a look at the Sprouts Press workshops page lately?  There’s a lot of activity going on!  And the next class is this saturday at the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild here in Toronto!

It’s a fun class of dissecting old books and re-binding them into new, blank journals!  It’s aptly titled: Deconstructed & Reclaimed: From discarded novel to Coptic journal, go here to see details.

While this class is full, you can still join the waitlist or take a look at the other class I’m teaching at CBBAG later in the fall; the Caterpillar Stitch!  Go here to see that class (aren’t you just a bit curious??)

Arrow Stitch in August

First up is the Hard Cover Arrow Stitch Journal!  I really like this class because you not only learn the binding, but how to make a hard cover as well.  If you’ve dabbled in bookbinding at all, you’ll know how valuable a skill this is!!

Makeology!

unspecifiedI’m so pleased to announce that I’ll be taking part in this year’s Makeology Holiday Fair!  The first fair, this past spring, was such a huge success that I couldn’t be happier to return for the Holiday edition!

Mark your calendars, it’s going to be so fantastic!!

For more news as the date draws nearer, see the show website here.
