Nov. 11 & 12
*This course meets for two consecutive meetings.
In this class we will make a Pocket Book: a place to store all those notes and thoughts that you want to keep but are now scattered about. Each page of this 3-section binding will have pockets or foldouts. The sections of your book will be bound using a coiled tacket stitch, which is a binding technique dating to the 3rd century. A selection of graphic imagery and decorative papers will be provided to give each page your personal touch. Materials fee $20; pay instructor at first meeting. Enrollment limited to 10.
