Wearable Book with Leslie Marsh
Wearable Book with Leslie Marsh
Leslie Marsh is coming all the way from West Chester, Pennsylvania, to teach an intimate one-day workshop! This workshop is limited to 10 participants.
Join the fun as Leslie shows us how to solder and embellish book covers, and how to bind them into a small book using Coptic binding — a technique that has been used since the second century. After the books have been assembled, we will attach them to a lightly-embellished chain.
You will leave this technique-filled workshop with skills and handouts that will enable you to make books of all sizes.
For all levels.
There is a $15 kit fee payable in class.
