Postponed by Denise until she can talk with MJ about co-teaching this class. 082119~tt

Back by popular demand, this class was highly praised by the participants the first time we ran it. The combination of writing and bookbinding made for a very satisfying and productive class, and the reviews were fantastic.  Please join us in this two-session class where you will learn the techniques and gain the skills necessary for making your own nature journal/sketchbook with a Coptic binding. Learn from a writer/spiritual ecologist and a master bookmaker.

You will be guided through step-by-step instructions for compiling, completing, and decorating your handmade book. Coptic-bound journals allow for pages to be opened flat, making them ideal for outdoor use. You will also be guided through simple outdoor, creative, nature-based, and writing activities aimed to inspire content for your journal/sketchbook.

Please bring a willingness to go outside (with weather-appropriate clothing, rain or shine) for brief periods of time to engage in some of these inspiring activities. Students will leave class with their Coptic-bound book and a start on filling the pages with nature-inspired writings and images. We welcome beginners and experienced students as well. 

Details:

• All materials will be provided. There is a materials fee of $10 included in registration.
• Ages: Ages 14+ welcome.
• Please bring a bag lunch. We have a refrigerator and a microwave.
• Wear weather appropriate clothing for going outside.
