Participants will create two unique sewn books in this class with a bit of fun markmaking. We’ll paint two sets of watercolor papers with contrasting outside and inside covers. Then we’ll fold the pages for text blocks.

The first structure will be a sewn pamphlet with a clever slot-and-tab closure (see two top-left images).

The second structure will be a more advanced multi-signature book. (Large photo and images of red/orange/yellow book sample.)

These make great journals and gifts.
