Using various supplies we will create beauty on a long sheet of paper which will serve as the inside of the book. The covers will be wrapped with paper of your choosing, onto the binders board, making it sturdy and strong, so as to protect your inner spreads/creations.
Make it a story, make it a statement, make it a family momento, or make it an admirable mosh of things you love. This class is all about letting yourself feel the joy that comes with creating.
