Handmade Books and Journals Classes
My love affair with handmade books began in my early 20s. I could never have imagined that this art form would be having a huge revival (at least that it what it feels like from my vantage point). There is nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment that one gets when crafting and binding your own handmade art journals and books. There are as many different styles of mixed media art journals as their are handmade book artists. That’s why we’ve already amassed quite a collection of online workshops that teach how to create a variety of handmade books and art journals from scratch. No previous experience necessary. Check out each class and see which book style best fits your current needs and desires. Learn how to make that book and then keep going. There is no end to this artform and like many of the things that I love to create, we get to use all the mixed media art supplies that we live for collecting.
