A general note about my work:
All of my work is handmade by me. No two pieces are identical and that’s part of the charm of handmade work. Please allow for minor variations in appearance from what is shown in website photos.
A note about materials:
Because many handmade papers are used in the production of my items, variations in inclusions or paper tone may vary. I will make all attempts to ensure consistency through the product styles. In addition, differences in computer monitor settings may affect the appearance of my work on your screen. If you would like a sample of the exact paper/materials that will be used, please let me know. Feel free to contact me regarding any other concerns or questions.
Custom Orders:
If you want a book, but have different colors/patterns/textures/sizes in mind, please let me know. I have access to hundreds of papers and other materials that could be used to create your dream project. I would love to brainstorm the possibilities with you.

In the event that you are dissatisfied with your purchase, I am happy to perform an exchange or refund as long as you contact me within 10 business days after having received your order.

The Travel Companion Journal Studio Place Arts (SPA) | Barre, VT | June 6, 2012
Wednesday June 6, 2012
Wednesday June 13, 2012
Not only does travel offer you the opportunity to experience culture and adventure, but also the opportunity to invest in yourself. A travel journal is a wonderful way to create a tangible memory of your journey.
In this workshop, participants will create a journal with a double-needle coptic binding, an intricate stitch that will be visible on the spine of the book. Not only is the coptic binding beautiful, but it also allows books to remain flat when opened. The journal will include pockets both inside the covers and in the text block, allowing you the opportunity to save lots of stuff from your travels – tickets, photos, pressed flowers – you name it!
Participants are encouraged to bring small photos, paper ephemera, and/or other flat items to decorate the covers. Additional materials will be available for use during the class. In this two-day workshop, each participant will leave class with a completed book and basic knowledge of bookbinding technique. You will receive a detailed handout and resource list for all materials we use.
Some bookbinding or sewing experience is helpful, but not required.
Cost: Members $55.00 / Non-Members $65.00
Materials fee: $15.00 to the instructor
Supplies: Awl, bonefolder, metal ruler (at least 18” long), X-Acto knife or utility knife, cutting mat, scissors, pencil, glue brush, small photos, paper ephemera, and/or other flat items, spring clamp (optional).
To personalize your journal: Collage materials (small bits of handmade paper, fabric, fibers, etc., rubber stamps, pads, markers, etc.
Note: Bring the the supplies if you have them – don’t feel obligated to buy anything. I’ll have extras available.
