Masks are no longer required for workshops, though anyone is welcome to wear one if they wish.

Come enjoy a fun and relaxed learning environment, and walk away with your very own hand-made screw-post album. This book is designed to fit 4x6 prints and works great as a way to preserve and share memories as a photo album or scrapbook. You will learn all about the basics of this flexible structure that can be taken apart, re-ordered, added to, and put back together with just a couple of screws.

This is a great class for those interested in book-making but new to it! No previous experience is required – anyone is encouraged to come, learn, enjoy, and walk away with something creative and useful. It also makes a thoughtful and personal gift!
