Intro to Leather Book Binding
About
Chelsea Ward of Sketchy Notions leads this bookbinding workshop, where you bind your own journal inserts and stitch a leather cover in brown or black, leaving with the notebook, several inserts and your tools. It runs from 5:30 to 8:30pm at The Paper + Craft Pantry, 1023 Springdale Rd, Building 6A, with a light meal, sweets and drinks included. Tickets are $189 and were marked sold out when we checked. Ward is back on October 25 to teach the studio's Urban Sketching workshop.

New to bookbinding?
A bookbinding class takes you from folded paper to a finished book — a stitched notebook, a journal or a hardcover — and teaches one or two binding structures along the way.
- Pamphlet and coptic stitch are common first projects; case binding takes longer.
- Quiet, precise work with a bone folder, awl and needle. Good for people who like detail.
- Most materials are included; some classes let you bring a cover fabric or paper you love.
Taking it home: The same day, sometimes pressed flat under weight for a night first.
