Botanical Bookbinding Extravaganza

A special extended three day Botanical Bookbinding journey, where you’ll learn every step of creating a handmade botanical book. From crafting your own paper to experimenting with foraged inks and finally binding your pages with various stitches.

Day 1 dives into the art of papermaking. Using pulped recycled materials, you’ll cast sheets of handmade paper, enhanced with petals, pressed botanicals, or even preserved botanical samples.

Day 2 is all about expressive mark-making. You’ll use botanical inks prepared by Cass and experiment with natural tools like twigs and plants to create unique marks. Print directly from foraged leaves, design your own stamps, and combine these techniques to produce a stunning set of papers.

Day 3 focuses on bookbinding techniques to bring your creations together.
