Beginner Bookbinding Workshop (8 Students)

from $500.00

My most popular public bookbinding workshop is now available for private parties of 8! Learn bookbinding 101 with the classic pamphlet-style sewn binding technique.

Each student will create two 4”x5” journals selecting from a variety of lokta paper choices. The text-block will be made with Neenah Linen Writing Paper, ideal for ink media like fountain pens and light watercolor. A curated selection of wood, glass & crystal beads will be optionally used to decorate the spine sewing.

Includes complementary take-home instructions of the step-by-step process so that you are set up for success when DIYing bookbinding at home. Classes are 2 hours. Please see location options below:

Location:

  1. Enjoy a workshop in my beautiful Belmont Shore home studio. Available Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm, all-included in the price of booking. Under a wrought iron chandelier dotted with whimsical stained glass lightbulbs sits my antique cherrywood dining table seated for 8 guests. Enjoy the cool ocean breeze through my French-casement windows while working. Light refreshments of sparkling water and snacks are complimentary with your booking in this sunny and inviting workshop space. My sink is stocked with eco-friendly soap, nail brush, gentle hand lotion & 100% cotton towels to reset after class. Just steps away from boutique shopping and delicious dining— located half a block from Belmont Shore’s bustling 2nd Street! Address and free parking will be provided after booking.

  2. Schedule a workshop at the site of your request, within the City of Long Beach. Available Saturday & Sunday, 10am-4pm. Please select the option “off-site location request” at checkout. This required $200 add-on compensates me for the cost of transportation, workshop set-up, break-down, and clean-up. Selecting your preferred workshop site is a fantastic option for backyard birthday parties, bachelorette parties (make handmade journals as favors for your wedding!), and corporate team-building events. ***Please reach out with information about your site location before booking so I can determine if it is appropriate for our class. Certain locations, like public parks, may require additional permitting for gatherings, that you are responsible for obtaining. In those cases I require proof of permitting for my tax records. Thank you for your understanding & cooperation.
