This isn’t my studio, and it’s not Sunday, but I don’t care because this was a great weekend of bookbinding.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of teaching my craft to a really wonderful group of people at the Burlington Public Library’s ‘Bookbinding Hub’. We learned the magic of painting your own covers, and turning them into handbound books.

It was a fun afternoon, and look at the results; gorgeous notebooks all around!
If you missed this class and want to join the fun, keep an eye on the Workshops section of my site for upcoming classes.

Only a couple of spots left at my next bookbinding workshop, this Saturday! Read on for details.
Learn the basics of using acrylic paint creatively and then use a simple bookbinding stitch to turn it into a set of two notebooks.
When: Saturday October 14 2017, 1:30PM – 4:30PM
Where: Brant Hills Branch, Burlington Public Library. 2255 Brant Street, Burlington, ON

Just over a year ago I introduced a project I’d been working on for a while; printed logbooks! This was a design inspired by feedback from customers, at shows and online, who wanted handbound journals with specific purposes and printed pages. 
I’m so happy to say that they’ve grown to include 3 designs; Correspondence Journals, Reader’s Logbooks and Recipe Journals. And, of course, the colour selection has increased because I just can’t help myself.
To learn more about these books, check them out in my Etsy shop here. And if you want to read the original post I wrote about them (the one from a year ago), just go here.
