Multiple section sewing techniques
Rounding the spines
Creating a hardcover
Crafting a full leather cover
Casing your books
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will depart with their own hand-bound journal wrapped in full leather and equipped with the skills to continue crafting at home with minimal equipment.
