Bask in this 4-session online course, paced for a relaxing bookbinding journey.
Enjoy this variant of the ancient Coptic bookbinding technique - Live Coptic Stitching, where you use multiple color threads to stitch up your spine. Rainbow threads, anyone?!
We’ll also beef up our covers using two layers of substrate - book board and poster board, sized slightly differently, to achieve a subtle lip near the edges of our covers. We’ll also learn to measure for centering a perfect inset window on the front cover. Small details with a big impact.

Bask in this 4-session online course, paced for a relaxing calligraphic illustration journey.
Work in a journal you have made or purchased as we’ll first wrap our heads around forming the letterforms, then applying them to journal headers with other hands and drawing techniques - think banners, growing vines and flourishes, all enhanced with color - whether you’re using watercolor, watercolor pencils, or colored pencils.
Anything you draw in your journal can be done as a separate piece for yourself, clients, commissions, and gifts!

Class Description:
Draw a fantasy space of your dreams based on different architectural styles as a jumping off point for your journal headers - mixing drawn calligraphic hands, flourishes, and other elements.
We’ll be drawing all elements in our sketchbooks (made or purchased) so make sure the book pages you’re using can handle the small amount of watercolor we’ll be using to colorize our drawings.
Clouds in the sky become a giant flourished day of the week, foreground horizon line becomes the month and year…. doors of your building are numerals of the month, and scallops and other decorative elements connect your drawing to your deeper purpose.
Anything you draw in your journal can be done as a separate piece for yourself, clients, commissions, and gifts!
