Create a beautiful and compact (under 3 inches!) sketchbook with 140lb weight watercolor paper. Each students’ book will have an exposed-sewn French linkstitch binding and a protective flap for the fore edge. The instructor will demonstrate how to hide a magnet inside the front cover board and a metal band inside the flap making a satisfying closure. Students will get to customize their handmade sketchbooks by painting and decorating the covers, flap, and spine, leaving class with a ready-to-use book that is all their own.
