Current courses

When I first wanted to learn bookbinding I sought high and low to find something more than a half day, or two day class.  I wanted to delve deeper and broader into binding. I bought bookbinding manuals hoping that would work, but found that I needed instruction in order to decipher them. 


Our classes run from 8:30 - 4:30 and five days long so that you can really explore the subject, and have a foundation that you can build upon.  You’ll have the opportunity to do things more than once, so that you will understand the structure, materials and methods better.  It’s a lot more fun and you’ll end up with better results. It is also much more satisfying!  You’ll be surprised how many books you will make in each class.
