In-Person Bookbinding Course Date: August 9, 2026 Time: 10am-5pm PST Fee: $135 (includes materials) Location: NE Portland (parking available) Workshop Description: This beginner's course is both a bookbinding basics and a playful use of materials and natural elements. All levels are welcome. So many of us need a place to house the wonders discovered out in the field or our wandering ideas, which need a place to be gathered and sorted. This book is that home. Key structural elements make this elegantly bound journal your go-to place to record, imagine, collect and muse through the findings of your explorations. As a sidekick to your adventures, it needs to be rugged and practical. This book’s design features a lay-flat sketchbook with pages that can handle drawing, notes, collage, and paper cutting with a pocket for findings. A window lets us peer into the title page, and a bookmark reminds us where we left off in our adventures. These features, a sewn board binding, and your personal details will make the Fieldwork Sketchbook your favorite companion - whether in your studio or out in the field. Please Note: For students riding public transit to get to the class, there is a stop right out front. Parking is easily available. Amtrak is nearby, and people can be picked up if needed.
