Even though it’s not till the end of the month, I’m really looking forward to this new bookbinding class I’ll be teaching at CBBAG; ‘End to End Artist’s Books’!
It’s a collaborative-style class, where we all work together to create a gorgeous intermingling cover. 
Then I’ll teach everyone a few bookbinding techniques using these covers. Everyone leaves with a finished project, and all skill levels are welcome!
What: ‘End to End Artist’s Book’, a bookbinding workshop
When: Saturday September 3 – Sunday October 1: 10am – 5pm both days

It’s finally here! My brand new, in real life, bookbinding workshop is open for registration! 
This class is being held at the new CBBAG bindery here in Toronto. The focus for this workshop is mark-making with a collaborative effort. Then we’ll transform these pieces into handbound soft cover books using a few bindings. It’s a two day class and I can’t wait to share this technique with everyone!
If you’re not an artist, it’s not a problem; I’ll walk everyone through the steps and give ample time for exploration. Here are the details:
What: End to End Artist’s Books
When: Saturday September 30 – Sunday October 1 (2 days); 10am – 5pm each day.
Where: CBBAG Bindery, 180 Shaw Street, Toronto (Artscape Youngplace).

Yes, you see this correctly. It’s August and I’m making Christmas ornaments! I’m telling myself it’s okay because it reminds me of frigid January days, on roasting hot August days.
While I always make these ornaments, this year I’m only making a small edition of them. That means if you want one, act quickly because when they’re gone, they’re gone! Keep an eye on my Etsy shop for them to be listed, most likely at the end of the month.
I’m often asked what my paper stash is like. But to be honest, when I find papers I really like, I usually can’t resist using them. My mind just doesn’t stop thinking of all the wonderful book-ish things I could make with them, until I actually commit to a design/binding and go with it.
This is the case with these notebooks, I LOVE the summery vibe of these papers, and they’re heavy enough to use as soft notebook covers. And, of course, I couldn’t decide on just a few books to feature, so they all get to shine in this post.
