Beginner Bookbinding: Chain Stitch Journal

There's something incredibly satisfying about creating a book with your own two hands.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn the beautiful chain stitch bookbinding technique as you create your own handcrafted journal from start to finish. Whether you plan to use it as a sketchbook, art journal, travel diary, gratitude journal, or notebook, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation that's both beautiful and functional.

Choose from 15 unique cover designs to make your journal truly your own, then learn how to fold, stitch, and assemble your book using a timeless binding method that's both elegant and surprisingly approachable.

No experience is necessary. We'll guide you through each step in a relaxed, welcoming environment where beginners are encouraged, questions are celebrated, and creativity comes first.

By the end of class, you'll leave with a handmade journal, a new creative skill, and the confidence to continue exploring the art of bookbinding.
