Studio Sunday (on a Monday)

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.

Printed Logbooks

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.
