Participants will fold, stitch, and (if they choose) - decorate a useful, single-signature notebook.

You can make a book today! Make your very own softcover book. With just a few basic materials and tools, you can create one of these handy notebooks. These attractive little books fit in a purse, bag or pocket and are ideal for mini-journals, notes or sketching. Choose from a variety of colours to suit your style.

No experience necessary. All materials will be provided.

About your instructor: Dawn Woolsey is an Edmonton-based visual artist and educator whose practice spans book arts, printmaking, papermaking, and graphic design. She worked professionally in commercial graphic design, television animation, music packaging, and web design for over 40 years, later focusing on hands-on artmaking and teaching in community arts spaces. Her artistic focus currently involves more complex book arts and print processes, exploring sculptural forms, relief and intaglio processes incorporated into storytelling.
