Back by popular demand!  Award-winning artist and master of all things paper, Hollie Chastain will teach students how to craft a case-bound blank book from scratch with a variety of different book pages to choose from. Students will choose their own paper before stitching and binding the pages, then “case it in” with a hardcover for protection. Around and after building their books, Hollie will teach some basic lessons on several mixed media methods for students to beautifully and simply personalize their book. Students will finish the class with a case-bound blank book with personalized mixed media touches and the skills and knowledge to make additional books over time. Open to all skill levels.
