Create your very own softcover notebook using a simple hand-sewn saddle stitch binding technique! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn to fold paper into folios, prepare a decorative cardstock cover, and use an awl to create evenly spaced holes for stitching. You’ll then learn basic stitching techniques to bind the pages and cover together along the spine.
You’ll leave with a finished notebook perfect for writing, sketching, or giving as a gift, along with the skills to make more at home.

Andi Meyer has been creating art for over 25 years. Her work consists primarily of 3D fiber artwork, such as spinning yarn, felting, crocheting, knitting, and weaving.

Although she has received a BA in Art & Psychology and her MA in Education, her love for learning new techniques and skills has never faded away.
Student Testimonials:
““Everything was perfect as it was. Andi is a wonderful instructor. We had a great experience learning an art that was completely new to us.””
““I couldn’t have enjoyed the class more, and have already recommended it to friends. I look forward to doing more felting, and other classes, when they come up.””
““We had so much fun! Andi taught at perfect speed. She described and showed us each step, and then gave us time and space to do our own thing. She walked around to answer questions and keep us moving forward. I will definitely look for and take other classes from Andi!””
