What will I learn
In each class, you’ll explore a different book structure—maybe a fabulous accordion fold, maybe a classic binding—either way, you’ll leave with something you made and a new skill to show off.
With just four students per session, there’s plenty of individual attention in a relaxed, low-pressure environment (unless its casing in a book).
Your instructor, Nikki Thompson, is as fun as she is knowledgeable. With over 20 years of experience as a practicing artist and teacher, she brings both serious skill and lively energy to the table. Her mission? To introduce everyone she meets to the magic of book arts—and make sure you have a great time doing it.
