Hand Bound Watercolor Journal with Linda Liebenow
Class | Available
Tired of using boring spiral-bound commercial art journals? Join Linda Liebenow to create your own personal sketchbook - no sewing required! Linda will guide us through a bookbinding technique that results in a “lie flat” book when opened. Your finished project will provide you with plenty of space for your watercolor paintings or mixed media work.
All bookbinding tools, adhesives, textiles, ephemera and various embellishments will be provided by the instructor, although students are encouraged to bring their own papers and ephemera/embellishments (especially if meaningful).
A ll levels, age 14+
