Classes are Tuesdays, April 10-24, from 5-7:30 pm, in UH Hilo’s PB-7 Meeting Room. Tuition is $75 and includes all required materials.
Handmade Books: Beginning Bookbinding teaches participants how to make a simple, blank, long-stitch book to store written works, drawings or special mementos. Students also learn how to add decorative accents, including a woven spine, button closures, pockets, envelopes and cover details.
