The No-Sew Technique Book Binding Workshop is a two-hour creative class where participants assemble a custom journal using specialty papers and a simple assembly method. Led by instructor Patricia Efunsade, the session teaches you how to bind tea-stained pages, gelli prints, and textured sheets without any needle and thread. This class is designed for ages fifteen and older, making it an ideal one-on-one date with your high schooler. The fifty-dollar registration fee covers all necessary supplies, but you are encouraged to bring your own flat ephemera, photos, or ticket stubs to personalize your pages. The workshop takes place at Anne and Arthur Fine Arts Supply in downtown Hillsborough, where street parking is available nearby. Taking a morning to learn a tangible craft is a grounding way to start the weekend. You will leave with a completed book ready for sketching, writing, or scrapbooking, plus a new skill you can easily replicate at home with your kids.
This class is designed for participants aged fifteen and older, making it best suited for older teens and adults.
Do I need to bring my own crafting supplies?
