Sunday July 26, Noon-3pm

at Strawberry Hedgehog Soap Shop, 1501 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix.

Take a break from doomscrolling and stare at some beautiful paper and cover material for a few hours as you find refuge at the beautiful intersection of function and art. In this easy-paced 3-hour workshop, you'll create a handmade wrap journal similar to the popular Travelers Notebooks and Louise Carmen journals currently inspiring thousands of people to bring a new look to their planning, journaling, and creative processes. 

No prior experience necessary--just bring your curiosity and creativity. Working at a comfortable, beginner-friendly pace in a safe and inspiring workspace, you'll learn every step of the long stitch bookbinding process, from selecting materials to the final embellishing and assembling of your new journal. All materials and tools are provided. Choose from a variety of the provided papers, fabrics, and alternative cover and page materials or bring your own to work with, and create a book that's uniquely yours. Whether you envision a journal for daily thoughts, a sketchbook for artistic expression, a planner to organize your time, or all of the above, your book will reflect your personal style and intentions.

Join us for an afternoon of mindful making, creative connection, and the timeless satisfaction of crafting something lovely with your own hands.
