Book Arts: Standards and Creative Variations

Learn the rules of bookmaking…then get creative and break them!  Each week, make different kinds of books, including an accordion book, Japanese stab bound journal, and a travel journal with sewn in pages.  Once you know the basics, use a variety of techniques to personalize your handmade books to tell your own story.
