WAITLIST OPEN: Tiny Book Ornament Workshop with Lisa Hersey
Mar 28 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
WAITLIST OPEN: Tiny Book Ornament Workshop with Lisa Hersey

Registration required at tinyurl.com/epl-tinybook. Max class size 4. THE CLASS IS CURRENTLY FULL. Please fill out the form to be placed on a WAITLIST.

In this class we will create tiny books that hang from a loop as ornaments. These tiny books are 2”x3” and contain 84 blank hand bound pages. Students will choose their spine fabric, end band color, and marbled paper. This is a great introduction to bookbinding, all skill levels welcome, must be able to thread and handle a needle. All materials and tools will be provided to students.

Bio: Lisa has been a bookbinder working in the Valley for over ten years. She specializes in creating boxes and enjoys working closely with clients. She was immediately hooked on bookbinding after taking her first class in 2009 at Montserrat College of Art where she received her degree and an award in her concentration. What she loves most about bookbinding is the interaction between viewer and object.

 

Lisa has been teaching for 5 years and is excited to begin to offer classes directly out of her studio where she feels most at home. Hosting both group and individual classes, Lisa hopes to spread the love of bookbinding to both newcomers and those with experience.
