Craft a notebook you'll actually carry.

Join us for a hands-on leather bookbinding workshop led by Suzan Lee, a bookbinder with over 10 years of teaching experience trained at the Center for Book Arts in New York City. Suzan co-founded the BC Lower Mainland chapter of CBBAG (Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild) and is an active member of the local book arts community.

In this workshop, you'll build your own leather notebook (roughly 3.75" x 5.75" x 1") designed as an everyday carry companion - equally at home for planning, journaling, or sketching. You'll learn two different insert-making techniques so your notebook can hold multiple swappable sections, and Suzan will guide you through selecting functional and decorative details to make the final piece truly your own.

No prior bookbinding experience necessary - just an interest in working with your hands and leaving with something built to last.

What you'll take away:

  • A finished leather notebook with replaceable, custom-bound inserts
  • Two bookbinding techniques for building your own inserts
  • An introduction to selecting and personalizing functional and decorative bookbinding elements
