Back in November I mentioned that I had agreed to teach a class for Shabby Cottage Studios and I am pleased to be able to announce that registration is now open!

Bookbinding 1 with Rhomany

I’m so excited to be teaching this class, which is the first of 3 workshops that will show you the fundamentals of bookbinding. It all starts with a scavenger hunt to find tools and materials from your other hobbies to make your books with. I have never believed that you should have to spend lots of money on specialist tools, so the only things you’ll need to buy for this class are the things you choose to buy or can’t re-purpose from around your home. You’ll be re-purposing your skills too. Want to knit or sew your book cover? Embroider the spine of your book? Do some funky things with beads and jewels? Then let’s play!

It’s being run through Creative Workshops (click the link and scroll down for the link to the workshop info) and it starts March 2nd. Price is $45*. In this workshop we’ll make two book structures, one glued and one sewn, with plenty of ideas and prompts for you to make more if you want to – perfect for all your art journaling needs.

*If you’ve taken 2 previous workshops with me, you are eligible for a loyalty discount of $10. Please contact me before signing up.
