Handmade Journal Class at Ox Bow

In this workshop, students will learn how to construct and personalize a hand-bound journal. Techniques demonstrated include covering cardboard with decorative papers, installing simple closures, adding bookmarks, collage and surface decoration, and creating paper pulp sheets or shapes using stencils. The class will flow from guided journal assembly to open-ended decorating, followed by a playful introduction to papermaking processes.

Plan to bring: a spirit of curiosity and creativity. All essential supplies will be provided, with optional materials available for continued exploration at home.
