The art of hand made books is a meditative, fun and rewarding process that I believe everyone could benefit from being exposed to. Who this course is for:

By Nicholas Lieurance on 10/6/2020

I've watched all of the videos but haven't had a chance to do any of the projects yet. However, the course gave me the knowledge I was looking for and I'm about to order materials for my first book. If you're looking for a brief introduction to bookbinding that will get you going with simple projects, this course is it.
