Studio Sunday (on a Monday!)
Yesterday was my last bookbinding workshop for 2015! I’m so happy with the response these classes have received, and how eager people in learning to make their own handbound books!!
With that in mind, I’m pleased to announce that there are some new workshops for 2016! I’ve kept everyone’s favourites and added a couple of new classes (and a new location!) to the roster. While you don’t have to have any prior bookbinding experience to take my classes, they are great chance to dust off your bookbinding skills and get a refresher in technique.
Longstitch/Linkstitch Bookbinding Workshop
When: Sunday January 24, 1pm – 4pm & Sunday March 13, 1pm – 4pm.
Where: Graven Feather 906 Queen Street West, Toronto
Hard Cover Arrow Stitch Journal Workshop
When: Sunday February 28, 1pm – 4pm & Sunday April 17, 1pm – 4pm
Where: Graven Feather 906 Queen Street West, Toronto
When: Sunday February 21, 2016. 10am – 5pm
Where: CBBAG (Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild), 80 Ward Street, Toronto
When: Sunday March 6, 2016. 10am – 4pm
Where: Guelph School of Art, 125 Wyndham St. North. Guelph, Ontario.
Pro Tip: Workshops are a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your holiday shopping list, especially if you plan a day of it and take the class together! (Most of my Toronto workshops start at 1pm, why not go for brunch and then a class?)
See you at the Toronto Etsy Street Team: Christmas Market!
Make something for the holidays!
Join me for a fun book making workshop this sunday! Read on for details.
This sunday I’m back at Graven Feather teaching another bookbinding workshop, just in time for holiday giving!!
Learn how to design and craft your own hand bound journal, to keep or gift! This workshop will introduce you to the basic process of hand decorating paper for use as book covers, and then how to incorporate it into a hand bound book using the Longstitch Linkstitch technique. No previous art experience is required.
When: Sunday December 13, 1pm – 4pm
Where: Graven Feather, 906 Queen St. West, Toronto
Cost: $65, materials included.

The Studio on a Sunday
I’ve got some great new journal designs finished, just in time for the holidays!!
One of my favourites of the new designs; the Plaid Fancy Coptic Journal (pictured above).
These books are substantial, sturdy, and incredibly tactile. Especially since the covers are plaid fabric!!! Great for cozy sketching or fireside journalling.
You can find these books at the One of a Kind Show here in Toronto. To see my other Fancy Coptic Journals online, go here.
If you plan on attending the One of a Kind Show, don’t forget I’m holding a contest and you could win a pair of free tickets to the show! Otherwise, to purchase discounted tickets online, go here.
