Discover the art of handmade books!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to assemble folded pages into signatures, bind them into a single text block, and finish your creation with a custom cover. We’ll explore two traditional binding methods:

✨ Long Stitch (Exposed Spine Binding) – Create a structural yet decorative spine, perfect for adding stitched details, charms, or ephemera.

✨ Japanese Stab Binding – A classic stitching method that binds your pages with strength and beauty.

Choose your preferred style and craft your very own 100-page drawing journal, designed to reflect your personal aesthetic and creative voice.

☕ Coffee and crescents will be served to keep your creative energy flowing!

Optional Add-On:
Stay for a second workshop the same day and join Chava Wolin for a Songwriting Session. Explore lyric writing, rhythm play, storytelling, and leaving space on your journal pages for ideas, lyrics, and creative sparks.
