Day 268/365
As I’m sure many of you know, I love teaching bookbinding workshops. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of bookbinding and watching everyone’s own personal take on hand-crafting blank books.
So, I’ve teamed up with some of my favourite people and put together some new workshops for you! Some are still in the works, check back later in the summer, but most are listed below. Take a look at the list and see if you’d like to learn the incredibly rewarding craft of bookbinding! And if you’ve already taken a class with me, you have your pick of new bindings to learn!!
Hard Cover Arrow-Stitch Journal – Maker Festival Event!
Learn how to craft your own hand bound, hardcover journal. This workshop will introduce you to the tools of the trade, materials, and techniques to make a hard cover book. Using an arrow stitch to bind the book, everyone will leave with a finished project!
When: Saturday July 25, 10am – 1pm
Where: Graven Feather 906 Queen Street West, Toronto
Bookbinding Workshop – Coptic Binding

I’m pleased to say that I’ll be participating in the next Blossom and Bloom show in less than 3 weeks! Located in picturesque Unionville, in the courtyard of the Varley Art Gallery, this is going to be a show worth checking out! I’ll be there with my handbound books, alongside a curated selection of talented makers, live music, and floral designers.
Earlier this week I went to 
They turned out really well, some abstract and sharp, others more subtle and soft. I’ve prototyped packaging and tested it this weekend, I’ll make necessary tweaks and then you can find them in my online shop!
