SUMMARY:Book Binding and Art Journal with Monique Vernon
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn how to bind a tiny book using the kettle stitch\, a simple yet effective method that has played a vital role in the history of bookbinding. Bookbinding is the process of physically assembling pages of a book into a finished product. It involves folding\, sewing\, gluing\, and covering the pages to create a durable and aesthetically-pleasing book. \nWe will bind our little book\, cover it\, and create a tiny visual journal along with a decorated Altoid tin to store your book in. \nMonique Vernon has been a paper art instructor since 2019\, teaching classes at Community Thread in Stillwater and making cards for over 15 years. \nRegister on EventBrite to guarantee your spot! \nCancellation Policy: Up to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund. Under 3 weeks before the event\, no refunds.
