Basic Bookbinding

with Vanessa Oliver-Lloyd

Basic Bookbinding

Whatever your inner artist needs to create, build yourself the perfect handbound book with this course to capture all of your beautiful art and precious words.

In Basic Bookbinding, you will learn how to bind four different types of journals. This course is great for beginners and will explain what tools you need to get started, plus options for using what you likely already have on hand. Each tutorial has step-by-step photos, and written instructions so that it feels like a friend is next to you, helping you through each stitch. 

Vanessa has created a beautiful, simple, and infinitely expandable set of four tutorials for you in this course that will help you create unique and personal books. With this course, you will be able to fulfill all your own creative needs and desires to create the perfect custom book to store all of your beautiful art and precious thoughts in. 

The projects in this class are suitable for children and adults, beginners, and experienced art journalers who are ready to stop buying boring, run-of-the-mill journals. The books you create with these techniques are perfect for art journaling, writing, list making, idea catching, collaging, cutting, pasting, and anything else you can imagine doing in your notebook. 

There are no rules or standards you must follow when bookbinding. This is a technique-based course that will be your base for creating the perfect journal to suit your needs.
