This one-session workshop is third in an annual series of easy to
construct notebooks for easy handmade holiday gifts or for yourself.

Details and registration here:

Flip-cover pad with faux perforated pages: this “reporter’s notebook”
format notepad is easy to hold in one hand. Pages are scored with a
needle near the top edge so they tear off easily while leaving the
binding intact. The cardstock cover folds over the notebook and out of
the way for easy access to jot down or refer to notes.

Once you learn the technique, you can construct this book in less than
an hour, and a stack of them in an afternoon. Start using your notebook
as soon as the adhesive is dry or make a few extra to have a selection
of handmade gifts always ready.

The online format is a series of live tutorials via Zoom. The tutorials
are recorded and the videos are available to registered students for 90
days. Students need not be present for the live sessions. Zoom links
will be sent the week before class.
