Guest Artist: Elissa Campbell

Learn five bindings that use only leather, paper, and thread – no glue needed! For each binding, you will sew 3 sections of folded papers into covers cut from one piece of leather. These bindings are very flexible and allow the books to open completely flat, making them perfect for use as sketchbooks or journals. Integrate different decorative sewing patterns on the spines, as well as diverse closure methods. No previous experience is required – this is a great class for a beginner.
