The books we make in this class will be unique works of art in their own right as well as spaces to draw, write, paint, and imagine. Inspired by the ancient Coptic bookbinding method, the single-needle link stitch we'll practice is elegant and deceptively simple - the flexible binding allows the book to open flat, and the exposed looping stitches create a beautiful braid-like effect. No prior bookbinding experience is required, though a basic understanding of hand-sewing would be helpful. If you would like to include any special paper, images, or other materials in your book, please bring them to class with you!

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | 10A - 2:30P | One-day workshop | $175

Nothing says “happy holidays” like a handmade card, and nothing says handmade better than letterpress! Using antique wood and metal type, ornaments, and illustrations, you’ll design a single-color card and print it on a printing press that started its working life in 1892.

At the end of the day, you’ll take home 20 handmade cards (plus envelopes) in plenty of time to get them sent to friends and family before the holiday season gets too busy.

Class takers should come with an idea of a short phrase (no more than 10 words) that they’d like to use in their card design, and wear clothes that they don’t mind getting a little inky.

Supplies: All materials are included with registration.
