Road Trip to Guelph

Posted on March 6, 2018 by sproutspress

Look at these beautiful hand bound, hand painted journals! This is what students made at Sunday’s workshop at the Guelph School of Art; Painted Longstitch/Linkstitch journals. If you’ve never been, this is a gorgeous, light filled studio on the 3rd floor of Wyndham Art Supplies in the heart of Guelph.

A big Thank You to everyone at Guelph School of Art, it’s always a pleasure teaching there.

If you missed out and want to join the bookbinding fun, I have more workshops coming up over the next couple of months. Go here to see what’s next.
