| Milestone or Commemorative Cards Book |
As we begin September we often reflect on our busy
summer activities, vacations, gatherings of family, and friends, maybe a reunion, or wedding in the mix. Perhaps there
was another special occation such as a milestone birthday or anniversary. Often many of these are celebrated with
greeting cards which are heartfelt and precious. Here is an opportunity to keep the memories together in a personally
bound book.

Milestone or Commemorative Book Jackie Hefty
Binding those special occasion cards into a commemorative book is sure to
please. Rather than boxing them away, gather them in a book to be shared and cherished for years to come.
Using a form of Coptic binding you will learn how to sew them together. Create a hardcover book with a unique cover
to house the greeting cards received for a special occasion. (You will need to supply the cards!) Thurs, Sept 7, 11 - 4:30 $85/ $10 materials

Variations
on the Accordion
Versatile and adaptable, concertina or accordion style
book structures lend themselves to so much more. We will 'play' with and investigate variations using these structures.
A style or structure that can be woven together, layered as a tunnel book, sewn as a coptic, and more. The linear
progression of a story line or imagery is favored by adults and children alike, yet it can be appreciated for the simple alluring
structural design alone. Paper choices/options will be provided upon registration. Previous bookmaking experience recommended,
no specialized tools required to continue your 'play' at home. If you already have any of the items in the Basic Tool Kit,
please bring. Thurs, Sept 28th, 1
