Starting September 2024, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be hosting Bookbinding Classes at Tsuga Fine Art and Framing in Bothell, WA. Whether you’re new to bookbinding or eager to refine your skills, there’s a class for you: 1) Beginning Bookbinding, 2) Intermediate Bookbinding, and 3) Advanced Bookbinding. These classes are designed to welcome all levels, from first-time binders to seasoned enthusiasts looking to craft their own journals.

As I reflect on my bookbinding journey, which began two years ago, I’m amazed at how a single book changed my life. Journaling has always been my passion, but it led me into the enchanting world of global paper—Japanese and Italian Book Cloth, Nepalese Lokta Paper, Florentine Prints, and more. I rekindled my love for fountain pens, ink, and calligraphy, discovering the nuances between different types of text paper and binding techniques.
Along the way, I've met incredible, creative individuals who have supported and inspired me. Their generosity and encouragement have fueled my desire to share this beautiful art form. I’m by no means a master, but I’m excited to offer what I’ve learned to those curious about bookbinding.
I invite you to join me in September 2024 at Willard Art and Frame. Let’s explore the art of bookbinding together and embark on a creative adventure. I look forward to sharing this passion with you!
