Books are awfully decorative says Auntie Mame, and a hand bound book is positively ravishing. Books signifies good taste, good reading, and most of all, time effort and aesthetic appreciation.
In my course let me lead you into the world of bibliphilia with three book binding styles. Learn how the Chinese and Japanese stab pages to make a decorative stitched binding. The coptic book binding which dates back to the early Christians in Egypt allows the pages to flow freely and how a simple stitch can make a dramatic statement.
These techniques are ideal for binding your special papers, mementoes, recipes, and diaries, just to name a few. “Scraps” for the scrapbook now become treasures, bound and preserved.
After this course, even, and especially, your notebooks becomes a work of art.

There’s joy in repetition. In my inked lotus works, each mark becomes a form of meditation when I paint. It is rhythm and stillness intertwined.
In February I taught the South Australian Governor hand printing at the Mallee Tourist and Heritage Centre in Pinnaroo.
