I know I always say I'm excited for whatever upcoming class is happening but this one I am extra-super excited for.
I've been working on a new line of books where I upcycle covers from existing books that are unloved or destined for less glamorous things like the landfill. I've been so jazzed on how they've turned out that I turned the project into a class and am extra-super looking forward to sharing it!
For the class I scored some languishing Reader's Digest condensed series from the 60s-90s, and we'll be repurposing the covers into newly-bound journals.
On the left are the covers I've chosen for the class...
...and after we wave our magic wands... JK! After we spend 2 afternoons learning about the ancient Coptic binding technique from the 2nd century, and having a ton of fun getting creative with our vintage covers, the result will be something like what is pictured on the right.

I extra-super hope to see YOU there!
