This binding has distinctively classic look.  You could tell people you picked it up at a little shop on the Seine or while meandering through Milan.  Or you could fuss up and admit to making this fabulous book yourself!  

It consists of multiple signatures directly bound onto the soft leather cover.  It also has an over-wrapped foredge so love notes and those oh so private photos don't slip out, and a wrap around thong tie.

No experience needed.  Beginners Welcome !!

Most materials and tools provided.

If you have your own book binding tools bring them, including a cutting mat.  I will have the student tool kit for use if you don't have your own tool kit or for forgotten a tool.

I will provide everything else.  Students need to bring PVA glue.

A detailed supply list will be emailed out previous to class.

$ 65.00 per student
