Bookmaking Class: Coptic Stitch Nature Journal

Do you love nature and want to connect with it more? If camping is a bit much and relaxing, watching, and appreciating nature is more your speed, then I have just the thing. Nature journaling is a realxing, creative way to capture moments outdoors and connect with the world around you. In this online workshop, you’ll join other nature lovers to create your own Coptic Stitch Nature Journal—a beautiful space to hold your sketches, pressed flowers, notes, and observations. Together, we will dive into the art of bookbinding. I’ll walk you through the process step by step: from folding your signatures to stitching your pages and finishing with a cover made from eco-printed papers I’ve created myself. Then we’ll explore a few simple ways to fill your journal. When we’re done, you will have a handmade 6 x 4.5” journal with a ribbon closure—and maybe a little more connection to nature (and yourself) than when you arrived. All supplies are included, and no prior experience is needed. This class will be recorded. If you can’t make it, I’ll be sending out the recording to any who register. Please note, in order to mail kits to participants, registration will close on Friday, August 16. I can’t wait to make these with you.
