Book Arts: Scraps to Sketchbooks

Have you ever desired a sketchbook that includes more than one type of paper? Or perhaps a certain size? This class teaches you how to make your own unique sketchbook with endless possibilities for paper type, color, size and thickness. Once you learn the basics of sketchbook making, it is a great way to recycle and reuse stray papers and makes a great gift for friends and family that enjoy journaling or sketching. The class covers book making techniques and students will learn the French link stitch for the book binding. Participants will also be given a zine that covers all the instructions from the class for reference.
