Welcome to More Than Zero, the bookbinding class that turned three simple rules into 431 journals (and counting). This isn’t just a workshop - it’s a celebration of imperfection, possibility, and pages waiting to be filled.
In this class, we’ll explore the beautifully low-pressure philosophy that kept me creating even when I didn’t feel ready, didn’t feel “good enough,” or didn’t feel like I had time.
Spoiler: more than zero is enough.
Together, we’ll brainstorm with wild abandon, create a zine from it, and fold our way into a practice that feels joyful, repeatable, and oh-so-liberating. Whether you make one journal or one hundred, the only rule is to show up with curiosity... and maybe some glue.
Because the truth is: when you take the pressure off and trust the process, you don’t just make a journal… you make space for your messy, magical, magnificent self.
Let’s make something.
Something more than zero.
This is part of Get Messy's 2025 series:
Your journal is more than just pages—it’s a container for your creativity, your experiments, and your beautiful mess. In Bookbinding for Imperfect Enthusiasts, we stitch together stress-free, handmade journals designed to hold your art, your thoughts, and everything in between. No perfection required—just curiosity, play, and a love for the process. Whether you’re binding your first book or your fiftieth, this is a space to explore, embrace imperfection, and go deeper into your art.
Come as you are, leave with a journal that’s perfectly imperfect.
Hyperbolic journaler and imperfect artist, Caylee Grey is also a wife and mother from South Africa. Caylee is the Fairy Artmother of the Get Messy art journal community, book, and art supplies brand. She has sworn an oath to embrace the messy middle and believes that more than zero is enough.
