Workshop Description:
Learn the fundamental techniques of section-sewn binding to craft a hand-made journal and acquire the skill-set and equipment for further binding endeavors.
Beginners are welcome! Deft manual dexterity a plus, but not required.
All materials are provided and step-by-step instructions and tips will be shared to ensure your journal-making experience is not only educational but immensely enjoyable.
Introduction to materials, instruction, and sewing of journals may be less time than the three hours allotted.
If we are under time, participants can option a period of writing based on creative prompts or make a smaller journal with other materials provided.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty of handcrafted journals and wants to explore their creative side. Whether you're an aspiring bookbinder, a journal enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique and personalized gift idea, this class is for you.
Light refreshments will be provided!
What to Bring:
- Your enthusiasm and creativity!
- Feel free to bring any special materials or decorative elements you'd like to incorporate into your journal.
- A favorite pen if we have time to do a brief creative writing exercise! Making a first mark in a journal can be intimidating. Quality pens will be available for use, but if you have a preferred writing utensil please bring it!
Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today for a creative and educational adventure in bookbinding!

Quest Seeker Hoods
$55.00
Greetings Adventurer! What brings ye into the shop today?
Aw! You have heard of the hoods I am selling?
Enchanted they are, yes.
Forged of blue wool and blessed by the witch who lives in the skeletal aspen grove.
They say those who don the mantle are seized by destiny!
Are ye an intrepid ranger taking to the midnight forest tracking gnoll trails?
Or a scroll wielding mage, summiting mountain peaks against a torrential blizzard?
Perhaps a humble hobbit, taking the low-roads to avoid bounty hunters for a crime made against the crown?
Purchasers also receive a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet I make up (for hecks) and a scroll copy of my very VERY secret YA DnD fanfic. I seriously don't want anyone to read it. But it will be yours, with a hood.
Price includes delivery / shipping!
