Book Arts 101: Make Your Own Journals

Join Ellie from Echo Foxtrot for a hands-on introduction to the art of bookmaking! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create two beautiful handmade journals—a Japanese stab-bound book and a classic saddle-stitched style—using a variety of unique cover options, including eco-printed papers made from sustainably sourced Baltimore flora.

You’ll learn foundational techniques like sewing, hole-punching with an awl, and precise measuring—all with guided support. No experience needed! Leave with two one-of-a-kind journals perfect for sketching, writing, or gifting.

All materials included. Space is limited—grab your spot today!
