Dates: Monday & Tuesday, April 7 & 8, 2025 

Time: Pacific Time, 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM

Skill Level: Some binding experience helpful 

Class Description: An indestructible cover inspired by Italy’s 1970’s solution to the broken Yellow Pages in public phone booths. This 360 degree flexible binding offers many advantages because it bends and does not break! This unique binding style offers visual and tactile delight, employing strips of articulated hard board covered with marbled fabric. 

Also you’ll learn a very simple and strong technique of sewing books using a normal cotton thread. 

Students will create two sizes of this unique articulated blank journal that can withstand the ravages of time. The measurements of the smallest one are similar to the Moleskine dimensions.  

Class Kits: Class materials kits will be sent by the instructor. Shipping costs of $20 and kit costs of $45 are included in the class price.* 

Class Recordings:
Recordings will be available for one month following the last class in this series, for registered students only.
