In this one-day workshop with Book Arts faculty Anne McMillan, you will learn to make a soft-covered journal.We will also discuss how to make a hardcover and how the cover can be altered. You will learn bookbinding techniques, about paper, how to form signatures, and how to stitch this unique binding.
