ExpiredC’est Fini!

You started a bookbinding project, and then life made other plans. Your great idea for a book arts gift ran into a snag. 10 years later and the wedding album is not finished? Time to take charge and get it done. There is no shame no blame in this class, just a can-do attitude and the skills, tools, and equipment to finish the job.

Two sessions: Week 1 we look at the project and devise a solution. If special paper, adhesive, or other supplies or tools are needed, we’ll get them before Week 2. Week 2 class will be set at a time that suits your schedule. C’est fini! Wrap it up.
