Learn to create your own art journal for creative inspiration using book binding techniques. In this New England Botanic Garden class on January 12 from 10:30 – 1, you will learn simple book binding methods of creating multiple signatures with a simple stitch binding, how to bind the signature together to make a thicker book, and a unique, simple way to make a hardcover. Your journal can be made with blank papers or bring along your own artworks and favorite decorative papers to incorporate into an original book.
