BAL Adult Session 3 • Longstitch travel journal • THU (June 19) • EAST
with Gregory Robl

Do you journal when you travel? Join Greg Robl to make a journal for your adventures! We'll spend a day building a journal with a leather wrap-around cover (to allow for expansion with all the nifty mementos you tuck inside it). The size will be about 5 inches across and 7 inches tall - a good size for including postcards and photos. We'll be able to personalize the journal with your creative ideas such as old maps that we can cut to size for signature wrappers and/or endpapers. If you'd like to add sketch paper or watercolor paper, we can cut that to size and sew it into your journal. And we can add envelopes for ticket stubs, pockets for larger ephemera, and perhaps glassine pockets for particularly beautiful business cards you find. The registration fee covers the workshop, the leather cover, waxed linen thread, ribbon for a bookmark, paper for the pocket, the envelope, and the paper for the signatures. We'll have the option to add a ledger for tracking expenses. Participants are welcome to bring any decorative papers from home that they'd like to use for endpapers or signature covers.
To make sure everyone has a chance to refuel, we've scheduled a lunch break. Packing a lunch is recommended.
Ages: 16+
All supplies and materials will be provided.
Will be available to register on Wednesday, April 2 at 8:00 am.
BAL Adult Session 3 • Rainbow journal • SUN (June 22) • EAST
with Brenda Gallagher

This colorful sketchbook is perfect for capturing summer fun. The pages are made with a rainbow of colored paper which are revealed on the exposed spine of the finished book. No experience necessary. Students will learn to fold and punch signatures, to sew with multiple colors of thread and to create an exposed spine case to show off all that interior flare! Join Brenda Gallagher for a rainbow of fun this June!
