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

Create a beautiful multi-signature journal with special handmade papers for covers. The exposed stitching with beads on the spine is both decorative and functional. As a finishing touch, we’ll sew a closure made from buttons and linen thread.

Great as a personal keepsake or gift!
