Bring home your own hand-crafted 3 signature Keith Smith Book. Learn how to fold paper, punch signatures and sew a simple blank book into a leather spine for this lovely mirror Y design. Hard covers will then be sewn to spine leather creating a beautiful and functional journal that lays perfectly flat for writing and sketching.
Everything you need will be provided including: paper for interior pages, book board for covers, glue, glue brushes, needles, awls, bone folders, waxed linen thread, leather and decorative paper for covering.
Optional: Students can bring their own decorative paper if they have a favorite. Keep in mind; paper will be glued over boards and should not be too thin (like tissue) nor too thick (with chunky botanical inclusions.)
