Whether you are new to card making or just want to try out some new ideas, this is the workshop for you! Spend the evening playing and experimenting with our treasure chest of paper crafting tools – rubberstamps, paper punches, ribbon, eyelets, glitter and more.

Embroidered Hardcover Books

Making hardcover books doesn’t have to be tricky! Spend the evening embroidering a cover, and learning how to hand bind a single-leaf hardcover book with bookbinder, writer and arts educator Lindsay Zier-Vogel. Bring along a simple line drawing to embroider onto Nepalese paper (that is incredibly forgiving to stitch) and we’ll create one-of-a-kind books that you’ll be able to make a home.
