Hardcover Minibooks Workshop | Dec 9 | 5:30-8p | 10+(under 18 accompanied by an adult)
Join us for a sweet evening of bookbinding magic! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make two miniature hardcover books using salvaged and reclaimed materials. Whether you keep both, or give one to a friend, these tiny tomes are perfect for pocket poems, secret spells, or heartfelt notes.
We’ll walk you through the basics of bookbinding—no experience needed—and provide all the materials, tools, and guidance to bring your mini books to life. You’ll leave with newfound skills, a pair of precious handmade books, and the satisfaction of turning discarded scraps into something lasting and beautiful.
Perfect for all skill levels. Come solo or make it a friend date!
