Learn to bind a softcover leather book that can be used as a journal, a sketchbook, or a photo album. Using the Italian long-stitch style — a historical binding that dates to 14th-century Europe — each student can create a book with a leather cover with decorative stitching and pages that lay completely flat when open. Students can use leather for the book cover and have the option to include colorful handmade papers inside. The class is open to all skill levels, and all materials are provided. watkinsce.asapconnected.com
