We all can use a leg up in presenting our work, and off ­the ­shelf 
portfolios just don't always do the best job. For anyone who wants to use a special 
color, page size, or graphic element on the cover of his or her portfolio, using store­
bought portfolios is too limiting. The good news is that creating a screwpost portfolio 
from scratch is one of easiest bookbinding projects. In this workshop, you will create 
a portfolio to accommodate single sheets (not folios). We will discuss the various 
possibilities for personalizing the cover, including inlays, labels, and foil stamping. 
Each student will choose one method and make one professionally finished portfolio. 

Materials to bring:  Basic bookbinding tools (bone folder, awl, olfa snap off knife, scissors, dividers)

Workshop Fee:  $180.00
