Dear Everyone ~
The last few days have been a flurry of kit assembly for Collector’s Album, a two-part workshop via Zoom that begins Saturday, February 25. As I type this, a large armful of parcels are wending their way to students across the country, plus a couple to Canada. Students who will be taking my other upcoming workshop, Long-stitch-link-stitch Binding with Hand-folded Envelopes, will receive their kits for both workshops in a single parcel.
The kit for Collector’s Album is one of the most intricate I have ever come up with. It includes two complete sets of materials—one for the album we will make together during the workshop, and a second set for students to make on their own (with the help of the live recording from both workshop sessions). The album ensconces seven elegant hand-folded envelopes—that we will make without a template! Our motto is Template fugit! My center table overflowed with wondrous Wanderlust papers wandering over every surface available. Now, my heart is overflowing at the prospect of what students will put in their albums.
You can read more about the workshop, the album structure, and the kitful of materials here. And if you’re contemplating joining us, it’s not too late! I will be delighted to ship your kit post haste!
If you’re new to bookbinding &/or envelope making, I’d like to assure you that the workshop pace is calm, and it’s cool to ask questions. A little glueing experience is a plus, but not imperative.
I’m looking forward to hand-folding envelopes, glueing & stitching with you in this 8-ish hour two-part workshop!
Collector’s Album
May you be enveloped, Bari
