Past Student Reviews:

“Excellent day. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.”

 

“I like the "demo then come around and check on how you are doing" approach that Jennie uses. She is patient and encouraging and very zen about the whole approach to bookbinding and I suspect about life as well. She was very thorough in explaining the necessary steps to produce an unusual and sturdy book. Resources were also discussed by the class as a whole with everyone sharing their information on where to get supplies.”

“Would definitely take another workshop with Jennie and/or at SFCB.”

“I am not usually keen on sewing but Jennie broke down that portion into manageable steps that made it less intimidating and much more fun!”
